The recent OMB loss on the urban boundary issue means (I believe) a parcel of land added to the north end of Trim road and another added to the Barnsdale area.

A bit more quiet meeting for the suburplosion committee. Both items regarding the Bank/Findlay Creek/Analdea area. I just hope that on the east of Bank it won`t sprawl one day all the way to Hawthorne Road or even Ramseyville Road. We all know that on the west side it has reached or nearly reached Albion Road.

3135 Analdea Drive. This is just south of the field which had that infamous hot-air ballon crash back in 2001.

Another piece of bad news. It seems they are planning to widen Stonehaven Drive in Bridlewood this year, which will means more suburplosion in the Hope Side Road/Eagleson Road area pretty soon. There were multiple applicants in that area but it was slowed down because of the lack of access into Bridlewood and the traffic problems on Stonehaven and Richmond Road. Now even though Richmond is not planned to be widen right away, although I`m sure, some would love to see this happening very soon, the Stonehaven widening will likely mean that those multiple applications will therefore proceed pretty soon.

"A Master Planned Community" seems like a lame description. What if it's a bad master plan? (it most likely is) In fact I have yet to run into a "planned" community (master or not) in the Ottawa area that actually makes sense. Why are the neighbourhoods that have grown organically in a largely unplanned fashion more exciting?

Too bad Crestlea Crescent is already taken, but it's practically on the way to Barrhaven

What was stopping them from choosing 'Southboro'?

That would be most appropriate in a new south-end community. Perhaps the McCarthy/Riverside area south of Walkley?

What about Leacrest?

OMFSM.

You know what? The next monster "community", on a Barrhaven or Kanata scale, should just be called Tackyville. Just get it over with. Tackyville. And nothing should be approved for development unless it's as cul-de-sacky as possible, including streets that literally go nowhere. Literally. And no street or subdivision or building names can in any way reflect anything. They have to be randomly selected from a pre-approved list of 100 supremely tacky real-estatese generic ones.

The outcome can't possibly be worse than what the current process is giving us.

Actually, it could be MUCH worse. They could all be 1/2 acre or 1 acre lots scattered over huge swaths of the landscape...think large-scale Merivale Gardens or Pineglen areas...

Greely - you mean the 'town' that has no centre or main street? Ugh.

New residential project in Aylmer. I've made mention on the NIMBY thread. Radio-Canada has done a much report on this citing the developer is currently being sued for fraud and illegal real estate transactions. The article does cite the removal of the nearby green space as the concern rather than garbage containers which CHOT mentionned.

Here's the street view of the lot in question.

Apparently the Orleans NIMBYs (!) are still trying to get Habitat for Humanity out of their neighbourhood.
