WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️Councillor Catherine McKenney will not be personally buying 13 old buses for the City after all. The City of St Louis, Missouri had put the buses up for auction, and at the time the going rate was CDN $1800 – for all of them. The auction is now over $30,000 and rising, and there is no guarantee that the buses are actually suitable for Ottawa streets. Not that that transit vehicles being suitable for Ottawa has been a priority lately. [CBC]

▪️Developer plans 30 storey residential tower near Carlingwood Shopping Centre. Osgoode Properties wants build 293 rental apartments in the building, 400 metres from the under-construction New Orchard O-Train station. Buildings are currently limited to 39 metres in the area, Osgoode would need a zoning change to get its 95 metre height. The building would replace a parking lot. [Ottawa Business Journal]

▪️Premier Doug Ford will be in Ottawa today to officially open the Hub350 technology centre in the Kanata North Business Park.  [CTV] [Hub350]
