JUST IN: City of Ottawa committee votes to reopen Wellington Street ottnews
Wellington Street has been closed in front of Parliament Hill for nearly a year since the 'Freedom Convoy' protests began.
Wellington Street has been closed in front of Parliament Hill—between Elgin and Bank streets—since late last January when protesters descended on the capital and hundreds of trucks parked downtown. "There is no reason to return Wellington to cars, and there's every reason to leave it open for people," William van Geest of Ecology Ottawa told councillors.
McHale said the ongoing closure has limited surface parking downtown, made loading zone inaccessible for local businesses, and redirected large vehicles to other streets.Mayor Mark Sutcliffe has advocated for reopening the street to cars. On Thursday, he told Newstalk 580 CFRA the best course of action is to reopen it for now while a longer discussion about the street's future happens.
