The Argyle/Catherine stump is the access to the Windsor Arms apartment building, possibly used for Beaver Barracks (though not the main garage entrance). It also provides entrances to a few old buildings on the east side, next to the OPS HQ. It is also used to get people from the Queensway to the main street grid of Centretown.
The Harper Feds won't hand over a cent for the stump and the Museum can't afford it. I would propose the City donate it to the museum in the condition that a. it be turned into a park and b. the City does not have to pay a cent to tear up the asphalt and landscape the park (i.e. we donate the stump and invest nothing else in the project).
I'm pretty sure the woolly mammoth sculptures are still there.
