The loss of park land in Little Italy, Ottawa.

The former Ottawa Humane Society property on 101 Champagne was sold to a developer who created two residential towers.
933 Gladstone is destined to become "Gladstone Village" a high density housing development.
The popular Queen Juliana Park was given to the Ottawa Hospital Corporation by PWGSC.
50 acres of Experimental Farm land was given to the Ottawa Hospital.
Liitle Italy is facing:
noise pollution, light pollution; a massive increase in population. Shadows from 50-storey residential towers will cast a pall over tourist venues.
A 2002 traffic impact study determined that Carling Avenue, Preston and nearby streets could not handle any more traffic. A traffic impact study has not been conducted to find out how the Civic relocation and Booth Street development will affect nearby highways and roads. People visiting sick and dying relatives and friends in a hospital, and sick and injured individuals do not use the O-Train to get to an emergency room. Massive parking lots are envisioned for the new Civic and all of their auxiliary buildings---research laboratories; intern residences; doctors clinics, etc.
