1992 - National Capital Region parkways and parks.

"The parkways are relics of the 20th century." "De-pave the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway" (Ottawa Citizen, February 25, 2014). "De-paving the parkways would create billions of dollars of surplus real estate."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Government of Canada highways in the National Capital Region are part of the National Interest Land Mass and they cannot be destroyed, sold or given away. "Federal, scenic highways and parks in the National Capital Region are dedicated to the memory of Canadian soldiers who died fighting in foreign wars. They will be owned by the citizens of Canada in perpetuity." (The 1950 Greber Report, page 228/395).
