New Look Ottawa to Get Major Road and Flood Upgrades
Ottawa plans include a new Main street surface this summer after a highway department let contract. A bypass for US 50S and flood protection works funded by a 770000 bond are under planning, with levees along both river banks and the Locust Street bridge removal. The project hints at street system changes and east west riverfront access, plus a city beautification push by the Garden Club. People returning a decade hence may hardly recognize Ottawa.
