The City of Ottawa made a big ballyhoo in December 2009 about our official population reaching 900,000. They made a
media event when they rolled out the new population signs announcing it. I was even lucky enough to see the City's sign shop
making the numbers for these signs.

Alas, the temporary wood frame that was used for the sign on Booth Street in Lebreton Flats, for people entering Ottawa from Gatineau, was never replaced with a permanent structure. Parts of the sign have fallen off, and the sign itself has been literally pushed aside, oriented so that few will actually see it.
I hope it gets fixed soon.
