The City has launched the 2022 Origin Destination Survey as part of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) udpdate.

This important travel survey is being carried out jointly by the major transportation planning agencies within the national capital region. The goal of the survey is to understand how, where, and why residents travel. The survey asks questions about residents’ households, as well as the trips made by household members. The survey results will help the City make informed decisions on road, transit, pedestrian, and cycling improvements and is a key input for the next phase of the TMP Update, developing the Capital Infrastructure Plan. Households are being chosen at random to take part and residents may receive a letter or phone call inviting them to participate.

The City of Ottawa is seeking feedback on the preliminary policies and program recommendations of the Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP).

The IMP is a strategic document that sets growth-related goals, objectives, and priorities for municipal infrastructure related to water distribution, wastewater collection, and stormwater management, supporting the City’s New Official Plan project.

On Saturday, July 2, 2022, the City of Ottawa, in collaboration with the Central Canada Exhibition Association, will host a community festival at Lansdowne Park to celebrate 30 years since Ottawa City Council resolved to restore the Aberdeen Pavilion.

The Aberdeen Heritage Festival will kick off at 9:30 am with an opening ceremony in the Aberdeen Pavilion, followed by exciting activities throughout the day. This includes:

The City of Ottawa is seeking feedback on Road and Transit Project Evaluation Criteria, for use in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

Beginning in June 2022, the City of Ottawa will begin construction on the Bank Street Canal Bridge Cycling Lanes Project. This work will include bridge rehabilitation work and the addition of cycling facilities. This work is being conducted to improve the aging infrastructure and to improve the safety for all road users.

Twice a year, thousands of Ottawa residents help keep our community spaces clean and green through Cleaning the Capital and you can join them by registering for the spring 2022 campaign!

You can register online until Saturday, April 30, 2022. There are a variety of places you can choose to clean up, including community parks, shorelines, roadsides, or even areas around bus stops.

Spring is around the corner and potholes are sprouting all over town. They can be not only annoying but downright dangerous.

The City of Ottawa is seeking views on the management of garbage, recycling, and food waste. 

Ottawa’s vision is to be a zero-waste city. And yet, more than half of what we throw in the garbage could be recycled or composted. We need a plan that can stand up to challenges such as climate change and a landfill that is filling up fast.

Work continues on the City of Ottawa Transportation Master Plan that will be the fundamental framework for how the Official Plan's transportation goals are achieved. Several draft policies are now online and residents are invited to complete the associated survey feedback forms, as well as use the online engagement tool to review candidate projects, by the new deadline of March 31, 2022.

The City of Ottawa wants to hear from you on the new Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TMP is the city's overarching policy on road, sidewalk, and bike lane development and design. A draft policy document is available for review on the project website.

The public is encouraged to review the draft policies and complete the associated surveys by February 18, 2022.
