There are reports of coyote sightings in Hunt Club. A blog post on CityNews Everywhere states do not follow them or feed them. Call 3-1-1 to report.

The new pathway at the LeBreton Flats features designated pedestrian and cyclist lanes. Great idea! The only problem I see with this is the inconsistency of bicycle lanes in the city, making cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers wonder: what type of lane I am in now? Who has priority and where?

A three-tower development is being proposed for the corner of Baseline Road and Fisher Avenue. Two of the towers would be 25 storeys with one 29 storey building. Details on Renx.ca – Real Estate News Exchange.

After years of failed attempts, an agreement has been reached between Capital Sports Development Inc and the National Capital Commission to build an arena at LeBreton Flats. Above and beyond the arena, the project will include a mixed residential development. Flats District will include up to 800 housing units comprised of six storey units, a 12 storey tower, and a 20 storey tower. Details can be found in the Ottawa Citizen post, as well as the Ottawa Business Journal, and City News Everywhere.

The Katasa Group, a Gatineau-based developer, proposes developing 1509 Merivale Road with two buildings, one with 203 residential suites, the other a garage for 100 cars. A strip mall currently sits there. I read that the proposal meets zoning regulations.
