Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says the city's transportation committee will vote next week on whether to extend the closure of Wellington Street.
Sutcliffe told the National Capital Commission Thursday that the motion to close Wellington Street to vehicles was in effect until the end of 2022, and an interim decision needs to be made as council considers a longer-term plan. A Jan. 17 memo to city council from Phil Landry, the city's traffic director, said the closure has resulted in increased traffic on other major streets in the downtown core.
But as federal public servants and other workers transition back into the office, there is a concern that there will be increased congestion.
