The Battle for the Farm.

The loss of greenspace and increased traffic are major reasons why many people are opposed to the construction of a hospital on the Ottawa property.
1.)  "The hospital can take Tunney's as 7,000 people agreed to." Google: "Save Ottawa's precious urban greenspace - Change.org.
2.) A traffic impact study has not been conducted according to the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association. A study from the year 2002 concluded that nearby streets could not handle any more vehicles, Google: "Traffic study Central Experimental Farm Historic Site Management Plan" Page 7/20.

3.) The property is a National Interest Land Mass and a National Historic Site of Canada. Condominiums and health care centres would never be built on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The Dow's Lake parking lot and an adjacent park facing Carling Avenue are zoned as Mixed Use.

4.)  "In the next decade the near west of Ottawa will see tens of thousands of new residents" - Google: 417 ramp closure at the transportation committee Kitchissippi.
