They are steamrolling ahead.

The photo is from Skyscraperpage.com forum. "New Ottawa Civic Hospital (930 Carling Avenue and 520 Preston Street" - Site preparation.

Comments on the Skyscraperpage forum: "Fencing has gone up around the perimeter of Queen Juliana Park blocking pedestrian and cycling paths from Carling Avenue to the Arboretum." 

"Night lighting in Queen Juliana Park is being removed."

"Trees have been removed from the lower part of the west ridge."  (2022.)

"The NCC should not have any of AAFC's land to begin with. The only reason they have any is because the feds transferred it over to them so they could give it to the Hospital for  'dirt' cheap (if not free/$1 dollar a year.") 

"I think the citizens of this city should have a say on what happens to an institution that has existed for 130 years. I think this creates a lot of distrust when the use of public land changes overnight, especially when it serves as a green oasis in the middle of the city. This is considered an important part of the heritage of Ottawa."

The trees in Queen Juliana Park near the Sir John Carling Building.As I mentioned before, QJP was a gift from the Pierre Trudeau government to the people of Canada, when the World War 11 temporary buildings were removed. The park was a memorial to the more than 7,000 Canadian soldiers who were killed during the World War 11 liberation of the Netherlands.

Why am I being denied access to the 2,400 page lease agreement between the federal government and a medical centre--I was told that I "do not have a valid reason" to view the document.

 I believe that Commissioners Park is being converted to a venue for parking lots and high rise condos. As soon as all the tulips are removed. The 22-acre park is part of the NCC Greenbelt: House of Commons Ottawa September 16, 2009 Member of Parliament Steven Blaney: "...Other properties found in the greenbelt are Commissioners Park, where there is a display of over 100,000 tulips."

From Ottawa Greenbelt Wikipedia: "The City of Ottawa has identified more than 13,700 acres of the Greenbelt (55 km) that could be developed." Environment Ministers John Baird and Jim Prentice refused to dismantle the Greenbelt: "Environment Minister Jim Prentice opposed development in what he considered an important part of the city's heritage. He vowed to fight any such move."

 Maple Drive is being restricted to emergency vehicles and the Dominion Observatory campus will probably be flattened. The Gonzales Federal Observatory in Victoria BC was privatized.

A street sign in Ottawa that will most likely be removed in the near future.
