Lorrie Marlow 8:52 AM (3 hours ago)to me Can you post the attachment and the message below on our websiteMCA had a presentation from Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation (CCOC) on the redevelopment of 159 Forward Avenue, the former Forward Avenue Family Crisis Shelter. This property owned by the City of Ottawa has been sold to CCOC for a multi-unit rental property with full market rent and some affordable units based on income.
MCA is pleased to see 2 and 3 bedroom units for families. CCOC has addressed MCA concerns which were that the HCAC and mechanical ventilation equipment be installed on the roof and not on the ground adjacent to any of the neighbors. The waste storage must be enclosed and not adjacent to any of the neighbors which CCOC has addressed. MCA is supportive of parking on the property to reduce parking on Forward Avenue and 31 bicycle parking spots. CCOC will replace trees and provide soft landscaping and community garden plots on the property. MCA encourages residents to provide comments by June 23, 2020 to the link in the application and also send to: MechanicsvilleCA@gmail.com.
