Columnist Bruce Deachman provides live updates, commentary on ByWard Market, garbage and more as discussed at Ottawa city council Wednesday.
At a media availability following Wednesday’s council meeting, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said that he didn’t want to be “prescriptive” about steps that the new organization ought to take to address issues in the ByWard Market, describing the coming change as “the beginning of a new chapter” in the Market’s governance.
One of those that should garner as much attention as the garbage one was Capital Ward Coun. Shawn Menard’s request that the city provide an interim, and public, update on the status of the Lansdowne 2.0 development, including any changes to the original plan, and how public input was or wasn’t incorporated.Stand down — not much to update here.
“In two months, we’re going to be discussing a long-term option that we won’t even have collected any long-term data on the diversion rate of this compromise because it comes into effect after we vote on the new Solid Waste Master Plan.Article content “We’ve heard a lot about how the new motion is going to have more garbage and less diversion. But what you’re essentially creating with bag-a-tag is basically the equivalent of private health care for residents. There is no limit to how many bag tags you can purchase. So I’ve heard a lot of concerns about low-income residents, but if I’ve got a lot of money, I can purchase limitless amounts of bag tags, so doesn’t really help with diversion in that way.”College Ward Coun.
