Residents look in May 2024 at conceptual ideas of what an amphitheater may look like in Ottawa.

A peek at Ottawa<\/a>\u2019s new riverfront amphitheater is just around the corner.
The Ottawa City Council<\/a> on Tuesday night authorized a preliminary design services agreement with Lamar Johnson Collaborative, Inc., an architectural firm from Chicago, which according to Mayor Robb Hasty could yield designs for the city\u2019s amphitheater and the surrounding park in about eight weeks.
\u201cI\u2019ve been quoted many times saying that you can\u2019t put the amphitheater in a vacuum, you have to design the park around it,\u201d Mayor Robb Hasty said, \u201cso we\u2019ve spent the last year doing that. Everyone has seen it, what the plan is going to be. With that done and our feasibility studies showing us that the city is ripe for having an amphitheater and how big of an amphitheater to build, now we can have designed what the feasibility study says we can support,
\u201cWe had our first meeting on that today and we should have renderings and plans done by Feb. 26.\u201d
The council also authorized a design development plan agreement with Ginkgo Planning and Design of Chicago, allowing that firm to begin the first phase of more detailed plans that can actually be implemented once the work begins. That work includes such items as roadway and sidewalk widths, placement of lighting poles, amenities, etc.
\u201cIt\u2019s all starting to crystallize now,\u201d Hasty said. \u201cI\u2019m being told this is on schedule. I wouldn\u2019t like for it to be going much faster than it has been \u2026 Hopefully, there will be some earth moving this fall and then construction and new infrastructure started by next spring. It should take about a year for it to be built.
\u201cWe\u2019re targeted to be able to open the amphitheater and have it host its first event we\u2019re thinking by May of 2027.\u201d
