By the way, this is what that area looks like in the summer...DEAD. I think the canal level is about the same grade as the lower level of the Rideau Centre, but Colonel By Drive would have to be slightly raised to accommodate a link. I remember going into the hall in the right (the one with the green doors thinking it would make a great food hall/market type of thing. I'm sure you could punch more windows and doors on that facade to make it more appealing.
