Ottawa Mayor Releases Plan for St. Joseph Blvd.

Ottawa Mayor announced his three point plan to beautify and boost economic development along St. Joseph Blvd. in the city's east end.

Mayor Chiarelli will direct Hydro Ottawa to bury the overhead wires on St. Joseph Blvd.

He would also push to rezone segments of St. Joseph Blvd. to encourage development and redevelopment along certain portions of the street.

Our current zoning is preventing existing businesses from expanding and inhibiting the establishment of new businesses. Removing these barriers to growth will encourage more economic activity.
