More Experimental Farm land transactions and expansions.

The Greenbelt is a National Interest Land Mass that surrounds Ottawa. In 1958 the Government of Canada decided to expand the Central Experimental Farm by creating a "Greenbelt Research Farm" in Nepean, Ontario. The farm encompassed several thousand acres of land and was a thriving animal research facility. The Chretien government decided to decommission the Farm and give all of the land to the National Capital Commission. The parcel is bordered by Hunt Club Road, Woodroffe Avenue, Fallowfield Road and Greenbank Road.

The Widening of Carling Avenue resulted in the loss of the Dominion Observatory's North Azimuth Building; the removal of park land at 870 Carling Avenue and the loss of part of Field No. 1. If the Civic relocates to the Farm the following roads will be impacted in a negative way:

Prince of Wales Drive

The NCC Driveway

Maple Lane

Also, the City of Ottawa is planning to remove a strip of Experimental Farm land along Baseline road in order to create a transportation corridor.
