Uptown Rideau: Mainstreet, Interrupted

This walk will be a review of the commercial & institutional life of street over previous 125 years, and how it has grown and then declined.  Will renewed street services reverse this decline?

Participants will have an opportunity to participate. Let's discuss hat kinds of future businesses will help integrate the community and which will hurt. What is the role of the 2005 community design plan?

We'll walk eastward on Rideau from last remaining Jewish business to the point where street-car service transitioned to bus service, and where there were four hospitals.
