The Byward Market will never reach it's full potential until they relocate two or more of the shelters. It's a big city now, they don't have to be in the historical and touristic centre. There are plenty of great underutilized lots along the Queensway on Catherine Street between Bank and Bronson that would be perfect locations for one or more of the shelters. City of Ottawa Social Services is already there, it's the same street as the Ottawa Police Headquarters, the YMCA, and Adult High School. There is far easier access for emergency services, it is easy walking distance from Pharmacy, Grocery, Beer Store and LCBO, the bus station is right there, there is a new large affordable housing project being built further West on the street for next step accommodation...
