The expanded boundary is identified in Document 1: Proposed Boundary Expansion Map – Sparks Street BIA. The BIA proposes to expand west to Bay Street, south to Laurier Avenue and east to Metcalfe Street and along the west side of Elgin Street north of Slater Street. Between the expanded Sparks Street BIA and existing Centretown BIA, all downtown commercial properties would be included within a business improvement area save for commercial properties in Centretown east and west of Bank Street and properties along Elgin Street south of Slater Street. Properties along Elgin Street are not included in the proposed Sparks Street BIA boundary expansion.
