Landscape Planning in Suburban Environments

The Outreach Sub-Committee of the Ottawa Forests and Greenspace Advisory Committee organizes the Walk Series, a major public activity that has proven to be quite successful. We have held four walks in 2006 and three this year already. We plan on two or three more walks in 2007, with the next one on June 17th.

We welcome you to join us on Sunday afternoon, June 17th at 1 pm. Our starting point will be in the parking lot of the Stonebridge Trail located on Jockvale Road, next to the Jockvale Bridge.

This guided tour will present one of the hottest topics in today's urban planning: Landscape Planning in Suburban Environments, with guest speaker Bruce McNabb from Monarch Developments. We will be walking along the Stonebridge Trail and within the beautifully planned residential community of Stonebridge. You will experience how the appealing housing mix is integrated among the parks, walking trails, conservation areas, woodlots, and ponds throughout the community, which provides enjoyment to all residents and visitors alike. This walk is estimated at 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Directions: If you are coming from Greenbank Road, turn south onto Jockvale Road and you will soon cross the Jockvale Bridge. The Stonebridge Trail entrance, and parking lot, will be on your left. If you are coming from Prince of Wales Drive, turn right onto Jockvale Road and head north, the Stonebridge Trail will be on your right, immediately before the Jockvale Bridge. The OC Transpo bus number 95 Strandherd/Barrhaven will get you to the new Strandherd Park & Ride. A transfer to bus number 186 will bring you across the Jock River over to the Stonebridge Community and meeting point. Please not that the 186 has a reduced service on Sundays.
