The resurfacing work along Craig Henry is part of the City’s additional $3.0M investment in Road Resurfacing projects. This additional investment targets specific areas of great need and not full road resurfacing. This is in response to the Motion carried by Council on May 24, 2017.
The specifics about the resurfacing work along Craig Henry are:
Limits: From Greenbank Road to Aldridge Way
Scope: Full resurfacing of the paved surfaces within those limits, with the exception of the paved median areas at intersections, and no work within the Greenbank intersection.
At the moment, pavement grinding is underway. This will be followed by ironwork adjustments (currently scheduled for Friday Oct. 20), paving operations, and line painting.
The work is expected to be completed next week, subject to weather conditions.

With cold weather on the way, I thought it timely to share with you some information on the financial assistance programs that Hydro Ottawa offers to help low-income customers. These programs provide relief to constituents who are having difficulty paying their electricity bills.
While this information is available on our website in both English and French, I wanted to offer printed copies of our brochure in the event you have residents dropping in to your constituency office. If you would like to receive hard copies of our bilingual brochure, please don’t hesitate to reply back to this email and I will coordinate with my team to get copies to your constituency office.
One particular program I want to highlight is the Ontario Electricity Support Program, which provides ongoing and long-term financial support to low-income customers. Some customers may be eligible to receive a credit of up to $900 a year towards their electricity bill. Constituents need only fill out an application, available at OntarioElectricitySupport.ca.

Rebates for secondary sump pumps could begin in 2018
Ottawa – Residents could receive rebates to install secondary sump pumps in their homes, according to a report received today by the City’s Environment and Climate Protection Committee.
The two-year pilot program would give up to 100 residents a $400 rebate when installing a secondary sump pump with back-up battery power. Applicants would be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
The federal government would provide nearly half of the funding for the pilot, through the National Disaster Mitigation Program, which aims to address the rising risks and costs of flooding. A secondary sump pump with back-up battery power reduces the risk of basement flooding during a power outage.
Staff provided an update to the Committee about the City’s waste management planning and diversion activities. The presentation included timelines related to the new provincial approach to waste management.
Items approved at today’s Environment and Climate Protection Committee will go to City Council on Wednesday, October 25.
For more information on City programs and services, visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401). You can also connect with us through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Proposed Zoning for 1375 Clyde Avenue
Public Information Session
You are invited:
Wednesday, September 27th, 2017
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Old Value Village Building
1375 Clyde Avenue
At the Public Information Session, residents will be able to drop in during the hours noted above and review the plans for the site. Representatives from the City, the Planning Consultants, the Ward Councillors offices and Dymon Group of Companies will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.
Proposed plan:
An application for Zoning By-law Amendment has been submitted for 1375 Clyde Avenue to allow for the development of a new five-storey self-storage building facing Clyde Avenue and a new restaurant building at Baseline Road. The existing ‘Value Village’ building is to remain and is being repurposed for a new retailer. To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant is requesting Warehouse (limited to Self-Storage) be added as a permitted use on the site. The applicant is also requesting changes to some applicable development standards including specific relief from some ‘active street frontage’ zoning requirements, parking rate and aisle width requirements, minimum landscape buffers around parking lots and provision of outdoor communal space, screening of refuse and loading areas and queuing requirements for drive-throughs.
