Study Area and Study Context

The primary Study Area is the Central Business District of the Central Area (north of Gloucester Street, between Bronson and the Rideau Canal), and along the major arterial streets that will be influenced by the significant changes as a result of the new LRT stations.

The broader Study Context includes the surrounding areas of the downtown (Centretown, the Escarpment District, Rideau Street, the Parliamentary Precinct, as well as portions of the University of Ottawa, the Byward Market and LeBreton). These areas have been the subject of many past, on-going and recently completed plans, projects, and strategies.
