You are Loved!

I needed to hear this this week (and always).

(from the 320 Sycamore blog :)

URGENT! Dear Ottawa friends, we need your HELP by August 13, 2019!!

Our new neighborhood will hold 430 houses, and the end of its main street is zoned for 4-story apartment buildings. We knew this when we bought our new home and thought it would be great (hoping one day Macy might live in one of those apartments). There is now a proposal for a zone variance to turn those 4-story apartment buildings into 9, 12, and 16 story apartment buildings, creating a total of 1,320 apartments! That will make a total of 1,750 residences accessing their homes on one small street (De Lemarche Ave.) off of Innes. De Lemarche is not a through street and is located between Pagé Rd. and the U-Haul storage building. Most families have more than one car, so there could be at least 3,500 cars every morning and night trying to access Innes Rd. via this street. This will cause even more traffic congestion on Innes Rd. for everyone! And it will begin the urbanization of Orleans. If you live in Orleans, and/or drive on Innes Rd, please oppose this zoning amendment!
