Some business owners aren’t inspired by the city removing 92 parking spaces in the ByWard Market for an Ottawa 2017 event lasting the entire summer.
Phil Emond, who runs the Gordon Harrison Canadian Landscape Gallery on Sussex Drive, has written to the mayor, BIA and Ottawa 2017 to share his frustration with the removal of parking on York Street.
“We’ve paid premium rent to rent there in the ByWard Market because of the location, because of the parking,” Emond said.
