Ottawa takes next step in $129 million revitalization of ByWard Market

The city has issued a request for "professional services' to undertake a feasibility analysis of the ByWard Market Public Realm Plan, including a detailed financial business case, a proposed project construction and integration strategy and procurement advice.

Council approved the $129 million ByWard Market Public Realm Plan in 2021, which is designed to "guide the evolution of the market's public spaces," according to the city. The plan, which pledges to have "pedestrians come first," includes a new "destination building" in the ByWard Market, new pedestrian spaces on George Street, York Street and Clarence Street, and plans for a new "York Street Flex" plaza stretching from Sussex Drive to York Street.
