Bowesville site - Railyard, or sports park?


Larry Pegg of Ecoview has provided this excellent view of the site, click the pic to enlarge. Note that Ecoview's design for the OSP takes into consideration and preserves the natural features of this land. Please see Ecoview.com for details on the ultimate soccer facility.

Also worth noting - Ottawa paid "extra" ($160,000 per acre) to a developer in Stittsville to keep a greenspace green. ($1.2 M buys Stittsville wetland) By the same token, they should be willing to spend up to $6.4 MILLION to preserve either the Bowesville site or Airport Parkway site.
