The City of Ottawa is updating it’s Comprehensive Plan, something that hasn’t been done in nearly 20 years. They would like the citizens to have a say in the plan. The next opportunity for you to engage in conversation about the Comprehensive Plan will be Thursday, October 24th, from 6:00 to 8:00 at City Hall. This session will cover updates for Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan, which covers existing conditions and demographics of Ottawa today. This includes land use, education, employment, utilities, and more.
The plan provides visions and goals, along with recommendations and a framework to implement the document to make those visions and goals a reality. It is used by the city government and commissions to help guide decision making in a wide variety of ways, including zoning, infrastructure, parks, recreation and more.
Updating the plan allows them to review what has worked over the past twenty years, what has not, and where the city can improve or expand on their goals to ensure a strong and vibrant Ottawa.
