Jane’s Walk: Un-Built Ottawa 2:  More City-Warping Mega-Projects . . . that Never Happened!

Guide:   Dennis van Staalduinen

For OAW 2024, Dennis led a tour called "Un-Built Ottawa" looking at a dozen mega-projects that never got built.  This year, he'll review some of those, and will share some additional proposals that would have radically altered Ottawa’s relationship with our waterfront spaces.  These additional projects range from the somewhat-credible to the absolutely crazy, but all of them were completely serious proposals at the time, and all were announced in the same breathless “transformational” language that we still hear from our leaders today.  Let’s imagine them together!
