Forty people weighed in on the latest plans for revitalizing Lansdowne Park on Thursday, with even more set to bend councillors' ears today. From economists to architects to sports officials, each had a different view on how to fix problems at the site.Cecile Wilson was one of dozens who gathered outside city hall to tell councillors Lansdowne 2.0 should not be a top priority.
People gathered outside Ottawa City Hall Thursday ahead of the first day of the joint committee meeting on Lansdowne 2.0. The city and OSEG argue the older infrastructure is now "functionally obsolete," though it remains safe. "How many other ones do we just not know about that we just can't bid or they aren't willing to come to Ottawa because of the lack of appropriate facilities."
Councillors are set to debate several motions on the subject, including a proposal to provide discounted or free fare on the 6 and 7 bus routes funded through a Lansdowne ticket surcharge and plans to add new transportation infrastructure, including boat access from the Rideau Canal.Catherine Knoll, with 613flea, said she's concerned about a lack of parking, particularly if more large events come to the site.
Kaite Burkholder Harris, executive director of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, says the city needs to earmark more money from the Lansdowne Park plan for affordable housing.
