June 7, 1966 The Ottawa Citizen Nation's capital a shotvplace in the making Fill 1 always moving wa River has been made fit for bathing. The lookouts will have plenty of parking spaces, 60 cars each at Kitchissippi and Remic Rapids, and another 50 at Deschenes Lookout. Three miles of this walkway have now been completed. The complete driveway, with seven miles of roads and walkways as well as underpasses, will cost to the vicinity of $8,000,000. The National Capital Commission also intends to extend its Gatineau Parkway development, but this is not in the immediate future, according to NCC officials.

It all takes time and money, and right now much of the cash available is being spent closer to the centre of the capital. The NCC, of course, also has a hand in the redevelopment orwar away by train for the weekend, and when they ratum have their car waiting for them again at the station. There will be space for approximately 170 cars. Also on the list for early 1967 completion is an addition to the Ottawa River Parkway which will be extended east from Tuimey's Pasture to the Garden of the Provinces on Wellington Street and west from Woodroffe Avenue to Carting Avenue. There will be pedestrian walkways along this seven-mile stretch of driveway.

Park benches will be placed at intervals within easy walking distance. Along the parkway will be three lookouts: the Remic Rapids Lookout; the Kitchissip-pi Lookout; and the Deschenes Rapids Lookout. Kitchissippi, by the way, is the old Indian name for Ottawa River. Walkways There are also three under- passes along the parkway to make it easier for pedestrians to gain access to the river fronts. Land has been offered by the NCC to the city of Ottawa for beaches when the Otta right of way to the old Union Station.

NCC officials hope have the Col. By extension completed by the spring of 1967. Even if the old station is kept and there is still such a possibility it will not interfere with the roadway, which wtfl take a jog to the right to join little Sussex Street. The Col. By extension, plus the ground surrounding the site of the old station, whether the station remains or not, will be completely landscaped in time for Centennial year.

All possible existing trees will be kept if they do not interfere with the path of the roadway. New trees and shrubs will be planted whereever necessary. New look The NCC feels there will be plenty of use made of the land in the vicinity of the old station and tasteful landscaping will add to the beauty of the capital. Officials point out that one of the features of the new union station will be the added parking. Travellers out of the city will be able to drive to the station, park their car, go The needs of a fast-growing city like Ottawa are many and complex.

Industry and commerce must keep pace with the city's progress to assure a healthy future.

Development of the Green Belt a 60-square mile ribbon around Ottawa is making steady if unspectacular progress. By Wilf Bell Citizen staff writer Ottawa's new Union Station on Alta Vistt Drive should be in operation by July 15, according to National Capital Commission officials. The station, which will eliminate trains through the heart of downtown Ottawa, is only one of many NCC projects under way around the capital. Add to this the parkway system which will completely surround Ottawa; the Gati-neau Park system which draws great numbers of tourists and local people as well to the beautiful hills just north of the capital each year; the vast acreage of the Green Belt which surround the capital; and dozens of projects which involve the NCC but which it does not control. Work is now progressing rapidly, not only on the new station, but on the surrounding area.

Alta Vista Drive relocation near the station is now under way, as well as the building of the new Canadian Pacific Railway freight terminal to match the CNR terminal already constructed. Although the exterior of the station is expected to be finished by July 15, portions of the interior of the building will not be completed until September. This includes the very modern and attractive restaurant, but temporary facilities will be in use until the main restaurant is finished. According to officials, about 10 per cent of the landscaping will be finished by opening date, with the remainder put in by October. Rails cleared The merchandising terminal at Walkley Road also will be in operation by the time Union Station is ready.

With the opening of the new station, trains will no longer be running into the heart of the city. The tracks along the Rideau Canal will be lifted and many of the sheds along the right of way will be demolished, including the sheds along Echo Drive. Following the lifting of the tracks, Col. By Drive, which now extends just beyond Pretoria Avenue Bridge, will continue along the old railway ''fXV' y' A mm aYtf? it Tomorrow's heart of the city An artist's conception of structures to come Unique in Canada GE0-E3ET REACTORS, Limited, and MASTERLOV PRODUCTS, Limited Both Companies Have Chosen to Set Up Their Business and Plants in the Ottawa Area!
