Consultation has concluded
What We Heard
Thank you for your contribution and comments on the concept option plans for Morgan’s Grant Dog Park. The online survey was posted August 14 – September 14, 2023, with Option B coming out on top as the preferred option with votes 91 – 62.
A summary of public comments is provided below:
enhanced quality of life for dogs and people providing opportunity for dogs to run and play and promote community social interaction
increased population and small backyards have created more need for a dog park
Option B has better street parking and a safer location as it is further from the bus stop and busy street, Klondike Road
Option B is larger and more suitable for dogs to run
Option B is preferred with fewer homes fronting on to the park
Option B is preferred as Option A has a recently installed pollinator garden
shade is important
wild parsnip is an issue in the hydro corridor and will be removed as required
community and pollinator gardens will be considered during design
noise concerns will be addressed with signage and park by-law enforcement
parking and traffic concerns will be monitored, and parking area may be considered in a future phase
waste removal amenities will be installed and maintained as per city standards
lighting is not included in the scope of work
water fountain is not included in the scope of work
separating large and small dogs is not feasible due to park size
Overview
The City is looking for your feedback to develop an off-leash dog park in Morgan’s Grant hydro corridor in Kanata North, Ward 4 between 1292 and 1300 Kondlike Road.
The proposed park amenities include fencing, double gate access and egress, maintenance gate, waste receptacle, signage and seating.
The preferred Option B will now go to the detailed design stage, with construction anticipated in 2024. Councillor Curry will continue to receive updates on this project. Thank you for participating in the survey!
