CTV's Dylan Dyson reports as the ByWard Square is being dismantled following its 12-week summer pilot. The George Street and ByWard Market Square installation featured live performances, local vendors, food and drink, and creative seating. Some businesses said the project helped attract people to the area, while others said losing parking and vehicle traffic did little to help their businesses. The ByWard Market District Authority says it was encouraged by what it observed and is conducting a comprehensive review to determine future plans.
