The now-demolished Japanese pavilion of the former Travelodge hotel in 2015.

The now-demolished Japanese pavilion of the former Travelodge Hotel on Carling Avenue, as seen in 2015. The Japanese pavilion at the former Travelodge Hotel on Carling Avenue is gone, to the surprise and dismay of the local councillor — but the developer says a structure in the same spirit will rise from the rubble.

But council approval isn't the end of the process. As the developer submitted more precise plans to the city bureaucracy, it asked to relocate the pavilion "to better accommodate parking structures," as city staff put it, and to fit it in with a Japanese garden planned for the site.

Tom Casey, chief financial officer and co-president of developer Holloway Lodging Corporation, said the plan is now to "reconstruct the pavilion in the same spirit and location as part of the design for our Talisman development." Brockington said most of the materials appear to be gone. He's concerned the new plan takes away from the heritage character of the pavilion.Coun. Riley Brockington asked transit staff who will pay for ongoing work to diagnose and respond to ongoing technical issue on Ottawa's LRT. Collins said there was an "internal error" in one notification step.
