The sidewalks under the Bank Street 417 underpass seem to be a magnet for random pedestrian obstacles. First it was the two seemingly permanent traffic cones on the western side (also pictured here) and now it’s a portable toilet on the eastern side.

William St is one of the main pedestrian access points into the Byward Market. For the last 2+ years the drain covering - which has key dates in Ottawa’s history incorporated into it (leading to the time capsule) - has been patched with asphalt, cones & steel plates. Is this now a proper repair?! 🤞
