Midway Family Fun Park plans to relocate to 2477 Kaladar Avenue, in Ottawa’s Heron Park neighbourhood. This could result in up to 500 patrons and 150 cars at peak times. There is a possibility of outdoor go-karts in the future. Midway operated go-karts at their previous location.
The west side of Kaladar Avenue is currently zoned residential. The east side, zoned light industrial, allows for amusement parks like Midway. Representatives from city staff and Council have said this zoning arrangement is outdated.
Zoning is presently under review as part of the Bank Street Community Design Plan, scheduled for completion in November 2011. However, Midway’s move could occur as early as this Spring.
We, the undersigned, believe 2477 Kaladar Avenue is an inappropriate location for Midway Family Fun Park given the significant increase in traffic and noise that it would generate, and resultant public safety issues.
We believe Kaladar Avenue should be home to businesses that are compatible with the existing peaceful residential character of the neighbourhood.
We therefore ask the City to work with Midway Family Fun Park to find a more suitable location for their business. We also ask that the City protect the area from any other such industrial development as part of the work presently underway on the Bank Street Community Design Plan.
