Created a new thread since this conversation went beyond downtown revitalization.
This thread is a catch-all for anything Federal Government related that doesn't go into any of the other existing threads.

I keep hearing that the central area is a “tiny minority”, excluding people who work there for some reason, but no one ever explains where the large majority lives. The Ottawa suburbs cover about 550 square km, so where exactly do more people live that we should be prioritizing? I honestly don’t get this type of argument.

It's strange to me how Downtown is not obviously the most convenient location for the greatest amount of people. Sure suburban locations are also important, but Downtown is accessible on foot by about 50k residents and 100k workers, and has the greatest accessibility by transit for probably close to about half a million who live walking distance from the O-Train or Transitway/Rapibus.
Place d'Orleans is accessible as well for anyone in the east end by car or on transit.
Merivale is likely the least accessible location. Better to have it at Bayshore or Barrhave on the Transitway.
