To: Ottawa City Council

We, the undersigned residents of Ottawa, are deeply concerned about the City of Ottawa’s preferred site for the construction of a railway maintenance yard as part of the North-South corridor of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.

City staff has recommended that the maintenance yard be located on the Airport Parkway site. This site is a natural greenspace located alongside the scenic entranceway to the city. A more suitable option is the Walkley Yard, a brownfield site that currently operates as a railyard.

THEREFORE, we petition City Council to reject the city staff’s recommendation and instead to select the Walkley Yard as the location for the maintenance yard rather than destroy the urban greenspace located alongside the Airport Parkway.
