	Lebreton Flats - Ottawa Real Estate
		Bordering on the west side of Centertown, with ‘Nanny Goat Hill’ as the southern border to Centertown West, Lebreton flats is highlighted by waterfront exposure as its northern limit.
		Lebreton Flats’ proximity to the Ottawa River as well as the former soil contamination issues naturally obliges eco awareness, and as such, an improved system of linked pathways along the parkway will allow for leisurely activities such as bike riding, in-line skating, or walking.
		Lebreton Station serves the area as the hub for the western portion of the Transitway, and nearby Booth Street is intended to be the main shopping street with personal service and retail outlets, so most shops will be within walking distance.

	NCC Watch: The Lebreton Flats
		The Lebreton Flats were demolished so that "the foreground to Parliament Hill, when viewed from the west, will be greatly improved." And the "slum residents" who lived there will be much better off for it.
		In 2004, the NCC announced Phase 1 of development of the rest of the Flats, a 4.4 hectare site to be filled with stacked townhomes and office blocks, all to be in varying shades of brown.
		A large piece of empty land along the western edge of the downtown Capital, LeBreton Flats has lain virtually idle since it was cleared of housing and light industry in the 1960s.

	LeBreton Flats District Heating System Performance Assessment (CMHC Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)
		The LeBreton Flats DHS has now been operating for 20 years and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the owner of the system, commissioned a study to review the energy use, operating costs, service history, general condition and client satisfaction with the system.
		The LeBreton Flats DHS was constructed in 1981 at a cost of $1,300,000 ($6,340 per unit), inclusive of the primary, secondary and ensuite systems.
		The most economical option for the LeBreton Flats District Heating System was determined to be scenario 3, the replacement of one of the boilers with two smaller units.This would allow the capacity of the heating plant to be trimmed to meet partial load conditions thereby improving system efficiency.

		The NCC’s LeBreton Flats Plan indicates that the present parkway along the north side of the Flats is to be re-routed through the flats on the new LeBreton Blvd. However, for the exposition it is necessary that as much land be available as possible for pavilions, parking and other facilities.
		The NCC plans are for the new LeBreton Boulevard to cut across the Flats from Wellington to the Parkway and to have the new War Museum on the north side of the Boulevard.
		Because the Flats are adjacent to the downtown area, the Ottawa River and the Parkway, the land is of very high value.

	Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation
		The site for the Canadian Firefighters Memorial was recently allocated by the N.C.C. in the LeBreton Flats area of Ottawa close to the new War Museum.
		This area is significant in the fire history of our nations capitol as it is the area where the Ottawa-Hull conflagration of 1900 crossed over from Hull on the morning of April 26, 1900 after destroying 1300 buildings.
		In 1962 the National Capitol Commission expropriated the LeBreton Flats area land but plans for its use went undecided for years.

		The LeBreton Flats was a working-class neighbourhood just west of the Parliament Buildings.
		A mixed neighborhood really should have gone back in there, and even extending those medium density housing projects south of Albert to the Flats as was at one point the plan would be preferable to see.
		As it was (flatted and undeveloped) it could at least be used for large festivals and whatnot.

	LeBreton Flats: a Test of Our Vision for Ottawa
		Federal, regional and municipal plans to develop LeBreton Flats will soon deprive us of our last opportunity to keep a substantial area of inner city greenspace.
		Federal and regional goals fail to consider the environmental implications of building 2,500 to 4,000 dwellings and offices on LeBreton Flats.
		Critics of the LeBreton plan discuss social and economic issues, but environmental concerns are not adequately addressed.

		But while construction of the new museum continues apace, development of the rest of the land comprising the Flats has been a tricky issue since the site was cleared of low-income housing in 1965.
		While many real estate agents would agree Lebreton Flats is highly valuable land because of its proximity to downtown and the Ottawa River, it does not mean the industry is jumping into development with both feet.
		The NCC's target for the Flats is 1.7 million square feet of office space and 130,000 square feet of retail space.

		LeBreton Flats is bounded by the Ottawa River to the north, Albert Street to the south, the parliamentary precinct and downtown core to the east, and a CP Rail line to the west.
		The complete remaking of LeBreton Flats is part of a worldwide trend of inner-city revitalization, which aims to make more efficient use of valuable urban land and infrastructure, and to limit costly and environmentally damaging suburban sprawl.

	LeBreton to get another monument -- this one to 800 fallen firefighters
		The federal government has announced its backing for a national monument at LeBreton Flats in honour of the more than 800 Canadian firefighters who have died on the job.
		The choice of LeBreton Flats for the memorial is particularly significant because the Great Fire of Ottawa in 1900, which started across the Ottawa River in Hull, devastated the Flats.
		And LeBreton Flats, sitting on the Ottawa River in the shadow of Parliament and just across from Confederation Boulevard, has emerged as the prime location for two national gateway monuments.

		Toronto's old warehouse neighbourhood, the equivalent of LeBreton Flats, was not flattened for a snow dump, although it could have been because, like LeBreton Flats, it would have been convenient to do so.

		I’d say about 700 protesters left Lebreton Flats but numbers seemed to increase en route.
		Riot cops, many of them wearing RCMP epaulettes over Carlton Police epaulettes visible underneath, waited on Booth St, just north of Albert, for most of the marchers to pass, and then rushed in and grabbed about 5 or 6 protesters marching towards the rear among or near the fl bloc contingent.
		It looks like ‘security’ forces are not bothering to wait for C-36 to be formally passed, as they simply move ahead with ratcheting up the intimidation and a tacit adoption of ‘guilty-until-proven-innocent’ principles.

		This plan involves the remediation of all the contaminated areas, which involves obtaining approval from responsible authorities and stakeholders for all remediation work, including in-situ management of contaminants in Federal greenspace, removal and disposal of contaminated materials where lands are to be sold to third parties, and supervision of all remediation work.

	Residents aim to save last of LeBreton
		6When LeBreton** was flattened in the urban renewal craze of the 1960s, somehow little Lorne Avenue survived, its small houses a reminder of the neighbourhood that once was.
		In the scale of city-planning projects, lower Lorne Avenue is a modest thing off Albert Street at the edge of LeBreton Flats, lined with small houses.
		When the National Capital Commission expropriated the properties of LeBreton Flats in the early 1960s, as part of urban renewal efforts across Canada, Lorne Avenue wasn't included in the first phase of the project, perhaps because it was on the fringe of the Flats, or perhaps because its houses were in better shape.
