Ottawa's Byward Market

[Richard Eade]

I expect that the storage cost will be on the ByWard Market District Authority (BMDA)

Which is funded by the City of Ottawa and through City of Ottawa properties. That's like saying "don't worry about OPS buying horsies, because OPS pays for them". At the end of the day, it's the City.

To be clear, in the grand scheme of things, I don't care about storage fees. I just wish we would have invested in making William pedestrianized all year instead of spreading that money for a bunch of seasonal junk, paint and art tarps. Btw, I don't think the Province has even approved moving the funds to all these random initiatives, so Sutcliffe may have spent $10 million we don't have.

Anytime I've passed by, the space was always full, busy and animated. I dont think anybody could argue it was worst than it was before.

Having colourful art, pavers, live music, and places to sit and actually enjoy the Byward Market (outside of a patio) was very much appreciated.
