March 3, 2013, was the last day for the Brantwood rink. The rink, run by about 50 community volunteers superbly coordinated by Cindy Courtemanche, opened earlier (Christmas) than virtually all other city rinks and closed later, even being open after the heavy snowfall of February 27. And a very big thanks to Mike Galazka, owner of Mike's Service Centre, who for more than 20 years has plowed the rink, and whose plow suffered in the clearing of the aftermath of the February 27th storm.

According to information the OECA has received from Councillor Chernushenko’s office, OCTranspo plans to reinstate the #16 bus on part of Main Street sometime this spring. Plans are to have the #16 from downtown come up Lees Avenue as it does now, and turn left onto Main Street and continue south on Main Street as far as Hazel Street, where it will make a left turn into the parking lot of Saint Paul University, and terminate its run at the university. Plans are to eliminate the existing route west on Hawthorne Avenue, up Elgin Street and around the police station.

The City of Ottawa is now revising the fundamental plans that will shape the city in the years to come through a process called “Building a Liveable Ottawa 2031.” The revision of the Official Plan, the transportation master plan and the cycling and pedestrian plans will have major implications for Old Ottawa East. For instance, the transportation master plan continues to have the four lane $200+M Alta Vista Transportation Corridor (AVTC) included, even though traffic volumes do not justify it and it makes even less sense as the city proceeds with the $2.1B light rail project.
