"Federal scenic parkways and parks in the National Capital Region are dedicated to the memory of Canadian soldiers who died fighting in foreign wars." The Greber Report of 1950, page 228/395.
"The park and parkway system of the Federal District Commission is justly famous for its utilization of the scenic beauty of the Federal Capital Area whenever possible. The parks and parkways are and will be located along the banks of the Rideau and Ottawa Rivers, the Rideau Canal and Dow's Lake." (Report of the Federal District Commission, 1949, page 37/95.)

"De-paving the parkways will create billions of dollars of 'surplus' Crown real estate." From an Ottawa Citizen article. Prince of Wales Drive within the Experimental Farm is now owned by the City of Ottawa, not Agriculture Canada. The Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum is located at 901 POW Drive.
POW Drive is being widened from 2 lanes to 4. (Dows Lake-Glebe Report, June 11, 2010.) Will the Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum be demolished? The Ottawa Hospital has indicated that "extensive demolition" is required for the new build to proceed.
