Parts of Sparks Street in downtown Ottawa are upping the fun factor this morning as officials try out some new ideas to revitalize the pedestrian mall.
The City of Ottawa launched a campaign to bring more people to the pedestrian mall with a public meeting in January, asking the public for ideas. Winners will form a revitalization plan that will eventually go to council for a vote.
Change is already afoot: in an effort to keep vehicles off the street, removable bollards were installed earlier this month.http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/sparks-street-picnic-jenga-library-1.4751400
