Stage 2 West Pre-construction Update: Vegetation & Tree Removals

The city has provided us with an update on the pre-construction work as part of the Stage 2 LRT Project (O-Train West Extension):

The project contractor (Kiewit-Eurovia-Vinci) is progressing with vegetation and tree removal work across both east and west alignments. In the coming weeks they will move towards Connaught Park and the greenspace to the north, for removals within the area circled in yellow in the attached satellite image. I’ve also attached public notices that were distributed directly to homes in September and contain additional information regarding tree compensation that will occur towards the end of the project.

Here are the related documents that we encourage you to review:

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Alison Lynch (Stakeholder Relations, Rail Construction Program).

Stage 2 LRT – Geotechnical Drilling Starting Soon

As part of the work for Stage 2 LRT, there will be drilling in QTN sometime in the next couple weeks between May 27th and June 15th, 2019. We hope that you took a moment to read the flyer that was distributed to residents but if you missed it, here’s a copy of the notice (Bilingual PDF). To help provide you with more information on what to expect, the anticipated locations of the boreholes can be seen on the following map:

Thank you for helping clean up QTN

On behalf of your neighbours and the QTNca board, we want to thank all those that helped clean up our neighbourhood earlier this month. Approximately 32 individuals came out and together we filled 21 bags of litter (18 trash, 3 recycling). We recognize that litter doesn’t fall all on one day and thank all of you who keep QTN clean throughout the year.

We also wanted to send a big thank you to the Ottawa Riverkeeper, this charitable organization came out the week before our cleanup and waded through the Pinecrest creek picking up all the trash they could!

Stormwater is an issue, what’s happening in QTN and what can you do?

With the water levels receding, it’s a good time to learn what you can do around your residence to manage rainwater. QTN is bordered by the Pinecrest creek and there are many activities you can do to help manage stormwater for not just our area but for those downstream as well.
