Good morning! Today I’m at the stormwater pond between Boulonnais Grove and Paseana Place, and Terry Fox Drive (stormwater facility #1353). Stormwater ponds play a major role in flood control during major rain storms like the one we saw on July 1. This pond provides overflow capacity for the surrounding neighbourhood, and outlets via the Monaghan Drain to the Jock River and eventually the Rideau River. This week’s updates:Recovering from the July 1 storm - if you had flooding, make a report via ottawa.ca/311/ plus more storm resources available at ottawa.caCanada Day thank youTransportation & Mobility Action PlanCommittee approves renovictions by-lawCommittee votes “no” to Stittsville West urban expanion5100 Robert Grant Avenue - Village Green updateDevelopment updates: Hazeldean @ Savage update; new development proposed for Palladium @ DerreenStittsville Main flower basket programPaul Lindsay Park stormwater maintenanceBus stop construction on Abbott @ Robert GrantUpcoming events: Cricket festival, West Side Pride, weekly parkrun, weekly Market @ the barnOttawa Charge are moving to StittsvilleOC Transpo youth ride free all summer Have a great week! –Councillor Glen
