Ottawa City Councillor Riley Brockington has confirmed that the Dominion Observatory Campus near Carling Avenue could be demolished. He is the councillor for the Ward that includes the Experimental Farm. According to an Ottawa Citizen newspaper article:
" Coun. Riley Brockington, who represents the newly leased land, has been trying to lock into the lease conditions that would preserve as many buildings on the property as possible, such as the Dominion Observatory." (From: "Reevely: Feds say they'll pay $11.8 to clean up new Civic Site" Ottawa Citizen, February 23, 2018.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The federal government is giving away part of a National Historic Site to the Civic Hospital (for $1 dollar) and tax payers are on the hook for $11.8 million dollars. Riley Brockington is willing to let the Civic take over the entire Dominion Observatory campus.
The Reimagine Ottawa group which includes politician Clive Doucet is correct, there should be a public inquiry into the whole " Civic Hospital relocating the Farm" debacle. And why did Riley Brockington not divulge the fact that 12 acres of the new Civic land has been rezoned, to facilitate the construction of residential housing on the site?
The 12 acres of new Civic land has been rezoned "General Urban Area" and that designation permits "many types and densities of housing."
