Construction season has been ramping up in Canada’s Capital over the past few weeks. That means lane reductions and, sometimes, total road closures. Add in the start of Ottawa’s festival season, and sprinkle in some LRT maintenance, and you get a recipe for traffic headaches. Here to speak more on this issue in Hour 1 is Orleans West-Innes councillor Laura Dudas. She is also a member of the city’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. And while we are on the subject of municipal makeovers, a pivotal economic beacon in the Downtown Core could be in line for a significant facelift. But how will the Bank Street renovations impact Lansdowne Park? We dig deeper with Sabrina Lemay, the Executive Director of the Centretown BIA.
