Tunney’s Pasture Redevelopment Concept: Lower density residential redevelopment, west side (source: Government of Canada website)
On Nov. 30th, 2023, MCA provided feedback on the re-development project team for Tunney’s Pasture following the open house on Nov. 21 and 22. The main points in our letter are related to:
Making Tunney’s Pasture into a walkable 15-minute neighborhood (as outlined in City of Ottawa’s New Official Plan)
Conducting traffic impact assessments on neighboring communities
Consultations on how to prevent traffic flows from Burnside/Columbine gateway
Rethinking a future road connecting Lyndale to Tunney’s Pasture (preventing traffic flows through Mechanicsville)
Preventing wind tunnels from high-rise buildings that also block sunlight for tree growth
Securing efforts to creating safe summer and winter access at two “Natural Primary Gateways”
