Neighbourhood - ByWard Market

[jay2028]

I thought there was already a byward market district revitalization plan from a few years ago that was significantly better than this? (Brick roads, at least one of the side streets next to the market building fully pedestrianised, less parking). Has that now been cancelled to be replaced with this, which frankly looks identical to what already exists except for the interior of the market building?

That plan was more of a focus on roads and less on the buildings this plan is more of a focus on the building and less on the roads.

Yes. Watson had a $129 million plan approved and ready to go when he left office with the expectation it would be largely done by the 200th. Sutcliffe shelved it and has now came back with this far less ambitious plan, and it doesn't seem like anything will be done for the 200th (the City's 200th being this year and the Market's next year).

Big real estate listing coming out soon for the parking garage at 41 George including the storefronts along ByWard Market Square. A few developers are already licking their chops.
