The red areas are "Dedicated to automobiles."

 The map is from Reimagine Ottawa, October 2, 2021.

 Many of the 680 Experimental Farm trees are being clear cut for parking lots: in the buffer zone between the Observatory campus and Queen Juliana Park; adjacent to the DARA Tennis Club; and the Dow's Lake/Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage site.

From the Reimagine Ottawa Facebook page.
Agriculture Canada employees were forced to dig up the Historic Hedge Collection located next to the DARA Tennis Club. It must have been a heartbreaking event. I am calling on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson to place a moratorium on any further destruction of trees on the Experimental Farm.
