Nine acres of green space in Mechanicsville are being sold to foreign embassies. Land beside the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway cannot be sold because 1.) The scenic parkways are part of the 900 square mile memorial in the National Capital that was assembled by Jacques Greber in 1950--- the adjacent land is untouchable. 2.) Land beside the SJAM Parkway is part of the National Interest Land Mass.Give this property back to the people.
