CTV Ottawa - August 12, 2024
The City of Ottawa is taking the next step in the revitalization of the ByWard Market, three years after approving a $129 million plan for the historic tourist and business destination.
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.
"The request for proposal posted on MERX seeks proposals for consulting services to deliver a feasibility analysis for the redevelopment of key municipal assets located in the ByWard Market," Sheilagh Doherty, director of Economic Development, said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa.
"The analysis will consider the development of a future destination building located at 70 Clarence Street (currently a parking garage), a reimagined plaza on York Street, replacement parking options, and the reinforcement of the historic market building located at 55 ByWard Market Square as a key anchor and destination."
