City Wide – Encouraging the Growing of Food in Urban Areas - The purpose and effect of the London Plan and zoning changes are to make it easier to grow food in the urban area of the City by removing, adding or changing existing policies and regulations which currently prevent that from happening. Council adopted the Urban Agriculture Strategy in November 2017 which includes a number of actions involving Growing; Processing, Distribution; Food Recovery and Loss; and Education and Connection to make it easier for people to grow their own food and provide access to fresh food for other City residents. This project focuses on the “Growing” component of the Strategy. Implementation of the Strategy is urban agriculture community driven and is generally confined to lands within the Urban Growth boundary (UGB). The intent of the changes is to make it easier to grow food outdoors, inside buildings, allow for more greenhouses in more areas and other initiatives to allow the growing of food. On July 6, 2021 Council directed that the draft amendments and background study be circulated for comments. Any comments can be directed to Chuck Parker at cparker@london.ca by Friday, August 20th. The draft amendments and report are available on the City website (www.london.ca) under the file number below. File: OZ- 9332. Planner: C.Parker ext.4648

Arva Pumping Station to Huron Street Transmission Main Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan
The City of London (City) has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) master plan study to develop short and long-term maintenance and improvement/expansion plans for the Arva Huron Water Transmission Main between the Arva Pumping Station and Huron Street. This study included an assessment of the need to maintain and/or potentially widen the existing transmission main easement to continue ongoing monitoring of the condition of the watermain and/or for potential maintenance, repair or replacement of the existing watermain.
The study determined that the short-term maintenance alternative is to maintain the easement as is (15m or 50’) and only expand where opportunities may arise through land use changes. This ensures access to the existing transmission main for ongoing monitoring, maintenance and/or repair purposes without requiring the purchase of additional easement or property.
The study also determined that the preferred long-term expansion alternative is to twin the transmission main along Adelaide Street to add system capacity and redundancy with a connection to the existing transmission mains at Fanshawe Park Road and on Regent Street. This will also provide the opportunity for eventual decommissioning of the existing water transmission main between Fanshawe Park Road and Huron Street in the future.
A Master Plan Project File has been prepared and a copy will be placed on public record on July 12th, 2021 for forty five (45) calendar days to be reviewed by members of the public and/or any other interested party at the following locations: The City of London – 300 Dufferin Avenue - City Clerk, 3rd floor, The London Public Library Central Branch 251 Dundas Street and on the City’s website at: https://london.ca/projects/arva-pumping-station-huron-street-water-transmission-main-master-plan.
Interested persons are encouraged to review the document and provide comments to the City of London by August 27, 2021. If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City of London, the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks will have an additional 30-day window to review the study and decide what action to take.
If you would like more information about the study and the report please contact Stephen Romano, City of London, Tel: 519-661-2489 ext. 5537, Email: sromano@london.ca or John Haasen, AECOM, Tel: 519-963-5889, Email: john.haasen@aecom.com.
