'A long way to go' for ByWard Market revitalization, housing starts: Mayor Sutcliffe
December 24, 2024
The mayor also spoke on plans to revitalize the ByWard Market ahead of its 200th birthday in 2027. The city is undertaking a $129 million plan to guide the market's evolution as business owners and residents continue to express concerns over homelessness and public safety in the area.
Sutcliffe says he has heard positive feedback from business owners but said there is still work to be done.
"We're making progress, but we still have a long way to go. We all want the ByWard Market to be what it was in the past — a real gathering place for the city, a real source of pride," he said.
