Market Square

[Bjays93]

Yeah, the bus mall on Rideau St was a mess.  Unfortunately, it's still a mess with the structures gone.  They did, however, remove one of the two pedestrian overpasses that linked the Rideau Centre with the (yawn) Hudson Bay store, so that was good.  Frieman Mall, however, which passes through the Bay to link Rideau St with the Market, is very well used.  Over in Centretown, the existing underground links between a number of buildings are very under utilized.

In other words, the structures weren’t the problem.

Re: Centretown, what buildings have underground links? I’m not aware of any except that I think the new underground LRT stations are each connected to a couple of nearby buildings. But those are new.

A link here and there does not provide much value, especially for underground links that are invisible from the surface. The real value comes when one can walk on a straight and level path for several blocks on a different level from motor vehicle traffic.

There are no underground links that I am aware of. Unless we're thinking something totally different, there aren't any lrt stations underground. 

As for market square since that's what this thread is about,

Will it be getting any kind of external face lift thanks to the conestoga expansion?
