They asked staff to estimate costs and a timeline for an engineering consultant to review five miles of John Brown Road that qualified for over 500000 in stimulus money for a 2 inch overlay.

Ottawa shoe shiner revives nostalgic trade at Palace Barber Shop
Tyson Harvey, a former child shoe shiner now back in Ottawa, operates a stand at 411 S Main St. He learned from an earlier barber shop shine, recalling a boss who taught him to pop the rag. He once charged a quarter a shine with pockets full of quarters, now asks four dollars as prices rise elsewhere. Harvey has moved in and out of Ottawa since early teens.
