But that would require spending extra money, and in Ottawa, only the basics will do. Our only hope is that private companies step up to make it easier to access Sparks from the subway stations.
Brookfield should revisit the underground mall entrances as well as the redevelopment of the Podium Building to make the underground easy and inviting to access as well as adding wayfinding directing people to the subway.
Morguard should stop talking about the possibilities of connection and actually sit down with the City to discuss concrete plans to connect their buildings along with entrances (via their buildings if need be) to the stations.
Although it's not on Sparks, the World Exchange should seriously have direct access to Parliament Station, especially if the theatre ends up staying open.
