From south of Ottawa: Follow Highway 31 or Highway to the Proceed west on Highway to the Palladium Drive exit. Follow the Queensway west to the Palladium Drive exit. I apologize, when I read this last night I only saw km, miles, mins? However, this is ridiculous Ya, 15 minutes in the middle of a weekday! As I said, probably closer to a half-hour if it isn't Rush Hour or there isn't much traffic, longer if there is The real silliness of Scotiabank and the tourist board claiming 15 minutes is that most visitors will be heading that way for a game, which creates its own traffic problems whether or not it's rush hour.
Sorry about that Lol, 15 minutes from downtown?? I agree that there is no way that Scotiabank Place is 15 minutes away from downtown Ottawa! I was in Ottawa less than 3 years ago to see Coldplay at Scotiabank Place and had a horrific time getting there from the downtown area. The proposal included a hotel and 20, seat arena, named The Palladium on acres, surrounded by a acres mini-city, named "West Terrace.
The large site had previously been a possible location for a new home for the Central Canada Exhibition, but the Exhibition's option on the property had expired. The site was farmland and required a rezoning to proceed with construction. The then-City of Kanata supported the rezoning, but the provincial government and some local residents opposed the rezoning, forcing public hearings into the proposal by the Ontario Municipal Board. Rezoning approval was granted by the Board on August 28, , with conditions.
The conditions imposed by the board included a scaling down of the arena to 18, seats, a moratorium on development outside the initial acres arena site, and that the cost of the highway interchange with highway be paid by Terrace. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in June but actual construction did not start until July 7, The two year period was used seeking financing for the site and interchange by Terrace Corporation. On August 17, , Bruce Firestone , the Senators owner, was replaced by Rod Bryden , a former high tech tycoon, who assumed control of Terrace Corporation.
Only after the provincial government provided a loan guarantee for the highway interchange financing did construction proceed. Actual construction took 18 months, finishing in January
