According to Councillor Peter Hume his planning and environment committee will not be evaluating the best place for the city to invest (Lansdowne Park or Kanata) until it's April 14, 2009 meeting (Ottawa Citizen: Council won't discuss proposals until April, Hume says; January 29, 2009).
Apparently they will only evaluate the "Lansdowne Live" plan and Eugene Melnyk's soccer stadium proposal in Kanata. There is no mention of the Lansdowne Design competition that was put on hold when the Lansdowne Live proposal came in. This is particularly surprising as Councillor Hume, along with Councillor Clive Doucet, were both promoters of the design competition.
There are many alternatives that should be evaluated in public before a decision is made to move forward on this file. Why the hurry and why the apparent change of heart by Councillor Hume?
