I agree that there is space to do other things, in particular I think it would be nice if we allowed a cafe to set up shop there.
However given the large number of available empty and underdeveloped lots all around downtown is there really any logical reason why to put an office space in a location that is uniquely suited for a park extension yet offers nothing exceptional in terms of office space?
We could certainly allow mid high-residential on the Ottawa end, which given the premium for overlooking a park would pay for the entire redevelopment and then some.
