Tunney's Pasture to see more housing, less office space in NCC's revamped vision (ottawacitizen.com)
 

Housing — denser, taller and cheaper — will be the the hallmark of a revamped Tunney’s Pasture in a plan unveiled by the National Capital Commission at its January board meeting.

The NCC’s federal land use and transaction approval (FLUTA) plan will lead to a “full transformation” of the Tunney’s Pasture property, NCC chairperson Maryse Gaudreault said when the board approved the plan on Jan. 23.

It calls for less office space in keeping with the federal government plan to cut its footprint in the city by 50 per cent, and between 7,000 and 9,000 new housing units, with 1,400 to 1,800 of them to be considered “affordable” under the city’s official plan.

That’s a steep jump from the 3,400 to 3,700 housing units envisioned the last time the NCC’s did a land use plan in 2014. And it’s a staggering reduction in the number of public servants who work at Tunney’s Pasture.

"We continually flame road violence as an outcome of personal choices yet we all know very well it's the result of our cities choices," Tom Flood said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"This is an unacceptable ad; victim blaming road violence is not the city I believe in," architect Toon Dreessen said.

Statistics provided by Gonthier shows 25 per cent of all fatal and major injury collisions on Ottawa's roads involve pedestrians. The memo provided data on collisions between 2017 and 2021 on Ottawa roads:

  • 29 per cent of fatal and major injury collisions involving a pedestrian occurred when a pedestrian was crossing a road midblock (away from an intersection)
  • 23 per cent of fatal and major injury collisions involving a pedestrian occurred when a pedestrian with the right-of-way was struck at an intersection by a left turning driver
  • 11 per cent of fatal and major injury collisions involving a pedestrian occurred when a pedestrian who did not have the right-of-way was struck by a vehicle travelling straight through an intersection
