QTN and the New Official Plan

The QTN Community Association proposes changes in the draft new Official Plan for Ottawa. They focus on ensuring strong neighborhoods as the population grows. How plans for intensification are done will make a big difference for QTN. The submission, prepared by the QTN Planning Committee, also addresses issues related to planning for future life between two LRT stations and protecting the trees and green spaces. In addition, it proposes that PinecrestCreek be protected as a Natural Heritage Feature in our area.

We encourage you to take a moment and read the submission (click to view PDF). If you have comments or questions, please contact the planning committee through qtncommunity@gmail.com.
