Well if the residents are going to decide on the look of the place are they going to pay for it.....the tone of this article is all wrong...last time I checked developers paid for development based on dialogue etc, with the City and residents but not on a design decided upon by nearby residents. If nearby residents had their way it would all be parkland or single family residential or commercial with lots of parking out front.

I was there but forgot my camera...

Any news regarding the city's Longfields Plan? "If" the city's ambitious transit plans ever get off the ground, I think that this area could actually be developed to even higher density. While the proposed plan is OK, I find it's just the same old stuff that's in Barrhaven already, only arranged differently.

The kind of housing form I wish they'd develop in Ottawa is the Chicago style walk-up condo. These are usually 4-storey buildings with four flats in each floor sharing a common entrance. The following examples are vintage, but I've seen them doing contemporary versions of these. Some of them have underground parking, since with only 16 units or less per building, the basement is large enough for a simple garage.

Well Brigil is making a not too terrible attempt at something along those lines at Trim & Innes.

The existing Village Plan prepared by the former Township of Goulbourn, designated 210 hectares of land for “future development” and established that these lands be eligible for development when the population of Richmond reaches 4,500. The City estimates that the village population will exceed this number by the end of 2008.


Therefore, the City is taking the initiative to review the existing plan and prepare a new plan that includes uses for the future development lands and the village as a whole.
By undertaking this project now, the City can ensure that:

• Village residents are involved and can have their say on the future development
• The provisions of the existing Village Plan are respected
• The new plan addresses other related matters that are important to residents

Here's a partial map of the Mahogany Fairwinds subdivision in Kanata West

I understand that Mahogany has also submitted a proposal for more land just to the west of the community.

What’s the street name theme here? Winds? I see “mistral”, which is a wind that blows in Provence in the south of France…

The Plateau district in Gatineau has its wind-themed area: rue du Chinook, rue des Alizés (alizés are tradewinds in French), rue du Mistral, etc.

...and then there's "Silent But Deadly Avenue". That's a kind of wind isn't it?

13 lot residential subdivision (Williams Farm) on Roger Stevens
52 lot rural subdivision in the same area --- next phase of Maple Forest Estates

Now it looks like, they have started to built on the north side of Maple Grove Rd across from Fairwinds judging by the existence of a Par-La-Ville Circle on the E-Map.

I've just notice this on the E-Map and on this thread at Ottawa - Building Homes about a new subdivision under construction south of Strandherd, north of the Jock and west of Greenbank. This is not Half Moon Bay nor the Kennevale Avenue extension area, it's a different one

If you're refering to Barrhaven Mews, that's the Mattamy townhouse development beside the Home Depot.
