A Better ByWard Market: Pedestrian Mall in Ottawa’s Downtown Core is A Step in The Right Direction

In this episode, Toon Dreessen walks the pedestrian mall, a 2019 experiment in downtown Ottawa that replaced vehicular traffic with foot traffic, inviting pedestrians to wander and explore the beautiful, historical architecture in Ottawa by eliminating parking spaces. With this kind of forward-thinking, and with the willingness to take risks and experiment, we can achieve the city we aspire to.
