This isn't an "authorized" follow-up yet. But...some of you might remember my article on the backstory of Eastway Gardens originally "Bannermount". If not:

There's a bit of a follow-up nine years onward. The people living there now might have their own hopes and plans, but it's going to get (more) complicated to act upon those plans judging by this report from CBC News Ottawa:

We're talking here about lands bordering on the cloverleaf interchange at Tremblay Road and St. Laurent Boulevard here. When I first moved to Ottawa back in 1985, they were used by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. I don't recall what that branch of the provincial government did there. Evidently, the land fell into federal hands in the decades since then. Sandwiched, so to speak between Avenue U and St. Laurent. Does it mean we finally get Avenues V, W and X added in? I don't know right now.
Something to keep an eye on.
