Former Somerset Ward Councillor Diane Holmes compared what is happening to Little Italy to what happened on the Lebreton Flats in 1963, when the government of Canada expropriated entire neighbourhoods and industries disappeared (O'Keefe Brewing; scrap metal businesses; the CPR...):
Save Little Italy - Notes - Facebook January 18, 2013. Councillor Diane Holmes.
"The Preston Carling Report is a reversion to the discredited 'urban renewal' planning philosophies of the 1950's and the 1960's, which totally discounted the values of the built heritage and human population in the existing communities. Little Italy is a working-class neighbourhood of historic and cultural importance to the City of Ottawa.'
"During the most recent phases of urban renewal sixty years ago, large areas comprising entire neighbourhoods and communities were completely wiped away for planned redevelopment. This has made the remaining sectors all the more valuable and worthy of protection from another wave of displacement."
"In designating the whole area east of the O-Train corridor as a throwaway zone, the City of Ottawa has abandoned its principles of community development, strengthening neighbourhoods and working with existing communities."
"The new building heights of nine stories along the O-Train corridor are too high, and the existing maximum building heights should be retained."
"With the assistance of the Dalhousie Community Association I have made a calculation of the number of additional population and jobs that will be added to this 'Mixed Use Cente' with the developments already approved or currently applied for:
100 Champagne - 100 units.
101 Champagne - 252 units.
125 Hickory - 324 units,
865 Carling (if residential) - 500 units.
801 Albert - 130 k sq metres in jobs.
500 Preston - 294 units.
505 Preston - 248 units.
518 Rochester - 120 units.
If we include the future 3-5 towers at the Dow Honda site (500 units) it appears that the City of Ottawa will already be exceeding the 2031 intensification targets for this section of Carling Bayview Mixed Use Centre by 125%."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 20 neighbourhoods in Ottawa that are Heritage Conservation Districts, protected by Section V of the Ontario Heritage Act. I will check and see if they are in the bullseye, if they have intensification targets.
