Here's a better public realm project. Parliament Hill landscaping plan, once the current rehabilitation is complete (by 2028-30 or so).

OK, maybe MPs or guests with mobility issues, but seems like an overkill tbh. |

Unfortunately, the Hill will inexplicably still have surface parking on each side of Centre Block, but the parking behind the Centre Block will be removed.
Trees will be planted at the edges of the Hill, while preserving vistas of the Peace Tower.
A monument dedicated to Residential School victims and survivors is planned "at the west side of Parliament Hill", but it's unclear if it's the main lawn at the front, or in the corner between the West and Centre Blocks.
