The City of Ottawa awarded the contract for the CSST East-West Tunnel with the main staging site in the middle of Stanley Park, meaning that all the rock and muck for the entire CSST tunnel is to be removed through New Edinburgh. This would subject the community to at least 2 ½ years of heavy trucking, environment degradation and noise pollution. The health, safety and heritage of the community are threatened. Residents, businesses and park users were not consulted on this plan. The CSST main staging site should not be in anyone’s backyard when there are alternatives available.

We the undersigned petition the Council of the City of Ottawa to:
1) Move the main staging site for CSST from Stanley Park
2) Work with the community to mitigate the impact of the CSST work that has to take place in New Edinburgh
