BIA Boundary Expansion

The Sparks Street BIA boundary expansion efforts were successful.  As of January 1st, 2025, we will be operating under our new brand and within our new boundary as Downtown BIA.  We are proud to be leading the largest BIA expansion in Ottawa's history. The BIA now represents 39 city blocks and 170 street-level businesses, in addition to multiple professional offices.

 

The Sparks Street Mall Authority will continue to manage the programming and public realm initiatives for this historic pedestrian street.  The Downtown BIA will represent the business members on Sparks Street and beyond in the downtown core.
