Mechanicsville Community Association is urgently requesting your feedback on the proposed re-zoning for the development at 159-167 Parkdale, which is found at the northeast corner of Lyndale and Parkdale in Mechanicsville. This proposal may be found at the following link: http://app05.ottawa.ca/sirepub/cache/2/i1ge4iw053tn12yspxqejgxg/4579502232013044523399.PDF

BACKGROUND
The City of Ottawa's Planning department has recommended the approval of the proposed re-zoning for this development at the city's Planning Committee meeting that took place on February 26th. The MCA attended this meeting and emphasized the need for community consultations on the latest proposal which had been received less than two weeks prior to the Committee meeting.

PURPOSE
This survey is intended to help the MCA know the community’s concerns and preferences related to this development in order to represent the community’s position, and your feedback will be very helpful in this regard.

SURVEY REQUEST
We are therefore requesting your feedback through this survey by March 15, 2013. You may respond electronically or drop off a hard-copy of your completed survey in the locked Comments box found at the left of the Laroche Park Fieldhouse entrance, which is located at: 7 Stonehurst Ave.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact the MCA by email at: [email protected].
