Some Kanata residents are playing the environment card in an effort to stop a proposed gas station and strip mall in their neighbourhood. The proposed gas station and commercial plaza would occupy the vacant lot at the centre of this image, directly across Terry Fox Drive from a pond connected to the nearby Carp River. Charles Brown is against the proposed gas station because he worries about the environmental impact on the Carp River. Nearly 1,000 people have signed an online petition against a proposed gas station, car wash and multi-unit commercial plaza near the intersection of Kanata Avenue and Terry Fox Drive. Terry fox Drive is at the bottom, and residential lots on Ingersoll Crescent are at the top.
