I grew up in Ottawa and loved the canal, purposefully explored San Antonio's two years ago and still was not a believer when I sat around the table of those wanting to convince a larger group.

I lived in Ottawa for a few years, and while the Rideau is great for walking near and skating on, Colonel By runs along most of it, and it obviously wasn't designed as something to develop around, which is why I think a purpose built Canal/Weir/Waterway/Waterthing to develop around would make Rossdale more of a destination (imagine if GenZ Instagram had Rossdale Canal instead of Manchester Square, amirite???). Which is definitely a very subjective vision for the area lol, but we gotta be more imaginative in Rossdale than JUST rowhouses and mixed-use density.
I do feel like environmental and Indigenous Land consultations probably factor in heavily against a project like this, which we should 100% consider and which is maybe why this idea would never come to fruition.
I was hoping if I wish hard enough, maybe we can fall somewhere amongst the stars and get some pond/stream/water fountain type thing lol.

Stopped by the East Village today and was reminded how West Rossdale/Rossdale Powerplant could become something of a fantastic community and should take some of its lead from this.

Especially with the Gondolla stop located there and a good riverside link to Louis Mckinney park and aeasy link to the Legislature grounds this area could be amazing.

They are 5 to 10 years ahead of us, for sure, but the potential here is 'over the top amazing and we won't look back if we wanna be startin' somethin'. This Michael Jackson song keeps rolling through my head now, Yeah yeah.
Help me sing it now...

i think sometimes the desire to see here what has been done elsewhere is simply because, no matter what it is, they managed to finish it where we never seem to finish anything before rushing off to chase the next shiny penny that will supposedly fix all that’s wrong.
