They also have a blog, which is cool - this is the first time I've seen the city use a blog for a consultation. Even better, it has sidebar links to Ottawa/Centretown urban planning/urban issues blogs, like Apartment 613, Spacing Ottawa, and West Side Action.

Mid-Centretown Community Design Plan study

That's some very impressive openness and communication for a city initiative.

I hope it pays off with a great plan that best meets the needs of the various stakeholders.

There's also a lot of extra detail in their full set of "information panels" http://midcentretown.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/open-house-panels-june-8-10.pdf (25MB PDF)
