OTTAWA --
A proposed new 'embassy row' just west of downtown could soon be up for debate at Ottawa City Hall.
The plan by the National Capital Commission would see green space in Mechanicsville near the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway used for six new embassies that each be three storeys tall.
Which countries will occupy the embassies has yet to be decided.
But residents of Mechanicsville opposed to the project say the land space should not be used for a row of diplomatic missions.
Roy Atkinson, of the Mechanicsville Community Association told CTV News at Noon that one the principal concerns is safety.
