The McDonald's restaurant on Rideau Street is set to close when its lease runs out in April, after nearly 40 years of operations in the downtown Ottawa tourist area.

The infamous McDonald's restaurant on Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa is closing its doors this spring.

"They are a pretty dynamic organization, they have the right to look at different spots and maybe they felt the time was right," Crosthwaite said. "But there’s maybe things that made it seem more right than usual." Ottawa police say they were called to the restaurant more than 150 times in 2022, significantly lower than the more than 800 calls for service in 2018 that prompted the location to change its hours.

"The freedom rallies and we had COVID; all these things are upheavals that can’t make it easy for a steady, reliable operation."A listing on Spacelist, a commercial real estate website, shows Unit 101 at 60 George Street available for lease, starting in the third quarter of 2023.

Who ever leases it has to be able to secure it and add better over night security. That’s not a Mcdo thing to do. But I think a restaurant can open up there and feed all the after hour drunks, but a large franchise isnt the best option these days.

This is under the nose of parliament Hill. It is an urban core hollowing. One can only assume the vacancy till be temporary but the players who contributed to the inner city crime remain.

Wellington Street closure hasn't caused 'total failure' for Ottawa's transportation network, report saysA new city of Ottawa report says the closure of Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill has 'not caused a total failure of the transportation network' in the downtown core. '...in the area mainly due to the lower traffic and pedestrian volumes,' the report said. I beg to differ. Once eastbound traffic coming from the parkway or from Hull are forced to turn from Wellington onto Bank, there’s no legal way to turn left and continue east until Nepean Street. They’re making illegal left turns at Laurier, Slater and Queen. If it’s a security issue then why allow cyclists and I presume pedestrians are allowed as well.
