Thanks for letting us know

It would be wonderful to create young life long transit users and complement the existing u-Pass at post secondary schools in Ottawa which I campaigned to bring in.

Thank you to the residents who have been advocating for this.

7) The OAG also identifies a risk the Redblacks could leave after 2042 and highlights that the city is taking revenue projections into account with the Ottawa Charge staying at Lansdowne, something the city has fumbled and is now unclear to the detriment of fans of the team.

6) Significant risk long term nature of the partnership to 2075, tens of millions of potential downside risk for the city related to Redblacks. Risk of $84 million decrease in waterfall distributions to the city on revenue projections and higher expenses.

5) The city has recommended funds ($5 million) that should have gone to affordable housing to instead be allocated to building parking for the residential towers.

4) There is a financial risk with the developer contract to build the skyscrapers. If the City fails to complete the transaction for any reason before the final closing deadline (July 31, 2031), the city would pay $13 million to the developer- Mirabella.

3) The city has agreed to pay $16 million of the $32 million for "business interruption costs". This public subsidy won't go to small businesses on site but rather will be paid by the city ie: for lost revenue from the stands being torn down. This cost could escalate.

2) The OAG has flagged a major risk on construction cost, that the contingency amount is not enough and could increase the cost of the project and residents taking on more than the $331 million they are already withdrawing. Tariffs, escalation costs and development complications.

1) The OAG has identified money going to Lansdowne 2.0 - ongoing debt repayment costs in the city operating budget ($17.4 million per year for 40 years -$694 million total) that “represents an opportunity cost as those funds could be used for other City services.”
