Scott Street Community Design Plan
Ottawa is a growing, evolving city. This is no more evident than west of downtown, where the City is
building the first phase of the Confederation Light Rail Transit (LRT) to Tunney's Pasture. The surrounding
neighbourhoods of Mechanicsville, Hintonburg, Wellington Village and Champlain Park are changing, and
Wellington Street West is bustling. The character of the neighbourhoods, their central location and their
proximity to rapid transit make them very desirable places to live. The area is experiencing growth pressures,
with developers planning new housing at various scales. As part of an overall plan to grow Ottawa more
sustainably, the City encourages growth within the designated Mixed-Use Centre that includes Tunney's Pasture
and adjacent areas.
This Community Design Plan (CDP) has been prepared to guide future change in the area surrounding the
Tunney's Pasture Transit Station, an area that takes its name from the transportation corridor that connects the
four established and evolving neighbourhoods. It is intended to guide not only private development but also
important public initiatives that will improve the area and support intensification.
