Ideas that were presented to the NCC.

 Turn the Experimental Farm into an urban park by removing the research fields, greenhouses, barns and laboratories.

Concern was expressed that the Farm was covered by three designations.

The CEF could be improved and repurposed.

The Old Ottawa East Community Association provided perspectives on the Parkways Policy Review, indicating that Colonel By Drive and the Queen Elizabeth Driveway are essential routes for residents, as well as a vital part of the community's green and blue landscape. Its recommendations were related to the following:

• Safe crossings
• Safe cycling and walking
• Support for the Fifth Avenue-Clegg Street Canal footbridge
• Landscaping plan for Colonel By Drive
• Enhanced Canal usage From: page 25/49 of the "Capital Urban Lands Plan and Parkways Policy Review", March 1998.
• Shopping opportunities in the core and areas such as Dow's Lake should be diversified with stores that people need. The Dow's Lake area was a park, a children's playground and a Tulip Festival venue.-savecfbrockcliffe.

The Pinhey Sand Dunes should be taken off the map. (The sand dunes are within the Greenbelt and are not subject to this plan.)

It was felt by some respondents that the concept of parkways as an opportunity for a leisurely "Sunday drive" was out of date.

Charge a toll on parkway use.

Limit roadway connections to the parkway network (i.e. entrances and exits to the parkways.)

Ban cars on the parkways.

Some parkways such as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway should be converted to natural-setting parks.
