1.) Rochester Field beside and behind Maplelawn on 529 Richmond Road, Ottawa - 2/3rds of the park are slated for redevelopment.
2.) Central Experimental Farm including the Queen Juliana Park - was given to a medical centre. 50-60 acres of land are now earmarked for the hospital. But they want to expand. The William Saunders Building is vacant and the Sir John Carling Building and DARA Tennis Club are gone. The Dow's Lake RCN Curling Club cannot afford an increase in rent.
3.) Lebreton Flats
4.) The Greenbelt - "The City of Ottawa has identified more than 13,700 acres of the Greenbelt worth about $1.6 billion that could be developed without damaging its overall integrity." Environment Minister John Baird and Environment Minister Jim Prentice refused to sell any Greenbelt land.
5.) Earnscliffe, 140 Sussex Drive- a former home of Sir John A. Macdonald and current residence of the British High Commissioner. A building designed by architect John Albert Ewart is being demolished and the High Commission is constructing a new embassy on the property. Prime Ministers John Diefenbaker, Lester Pearson and Joe Clark wanted to see Earnscliffe returned to the citizens of Canada.
6.) The Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, former Ottawa River Parkway - Motor vehicles will eventually be prohibited from travelling on the scenic route. Do you really think that people are going to flock to subways.
7.) Victoria Island.
8.) 8 parcels of land E. of Sussex (Mile of History) from Rideau Street to Macdonald Cartier Bridge. Foreign embassies are now located on this part of Canada's Mile of History.
