Ideas/Visions for Ottawa, Canada's Capital

[OTSkyline]

I think we should have this thread where we can all discuss ideas of things we should have/would like to see in Ottawa. Kind of like the "architecture for Ottawa" thread where we discuss buildings we would like to see here. For example, stores we should have, an idea for a new museum, tourist attractions etc...

I thought about this especially after reading the NCC's article about the "pop-up bistro/beach" that we had next to the canal last summer which was a hit. They were asking or looking for more ideas for this upcoming summer.

Also with people always talking about "Capital Cities" and how Ottawa lacks and is far behind these other capitals... What could be done here to make it more "grandiose" or "capital-ish"?

I'll be doing some research and posting my ideas later.
