Laneways Passed

[David Mennier]

Good morning, neighbours,
 
 
As expected, at the 24th April Council meeting, the recommendations contained in various committee reports regarding urban lanes were passed.
 
To learn more, go to the below website, and scroll down on the menu until the section called 'Urban Lanes - Management Policies and Standards':
 
http://ottwatch.ca/meetings/City%20Council/2474
 
You can then access each document by clicking on the black arrow beside each document. I found some interesting information, particularly in the second link, 'Report - Urban Lanes'. An excerpt from this report which reflects our particular situation:

   Property owners abutting a Type 6 lane may request that the City consult with them

   prior to changing the status of the lane that abuts their property, notably in cases

   where access is to be re-established. Since there is no statutory trigger for such a

   consultation mechanism, a targeted information campaign is proposed to inform

   property owners that abut a city lane about the existence of such lane and provide

   information about the Urban Lanes Management Policies, and the process in place

   to request a lane closure.

 
Regards,
