"To see it being destroyed in the last ten years is totally heartbreaking because people come here to see Ottawa, a beautiful city," said Saikin, the owner of Justine Studio Boutique. The retailers and residents say there has been no progress in the last year to revitalize the market. They want the Byward Market District Authority to engage in conversations with the city, as well as council members and the National Capital Commission.

The city has been stepping up its presence in the market and on Rideau Street in recent years, including by opening a neighbourhood operations centre in the Rideau Centre to be used as a base of operations for police officers as part of its new Community Outreach Response and Engagement Strategy.
