Paid articlePaid Closing Ottawa’s Driveway, plus other letters, Aug. 24. ‘Of course there should be a magnificent park, rather than asphalt and cars.’
theglobeandmail.com/opinion/letters/article-ottawas-queen-elizabeth-driveway-torontos-dundas-street-trailer-parks/
Quick Glance: Closing Ottawa's Driveway and Creating a Park
- Instead of relocating Lansdowne's aged entertainment centre to an LRT-served location, the city council is considering a plan to spend $332.6 million of taxpayer funds on a new entertainment centre at Lansdowne and further commercialization of the central park, resulting in more cars on the Driveway.
- Let me provide one major reason for turning Ottawa's Queen Elizabeth Driveway into a car-free park.
- Of course, there should be a magnificent park instead of asphalt and cars, right next to this globally recognized heritage gem.
- I agree that cars have been the focus in most North American cities for the past 100 years, with little consideration given to creating open pedestrian spaces like the Queen Elizabeth Driveway in Ottawa and Mont-Royal Avenue in Montreal.
