As much as I agree about Rideau St not being the main shopping ave as it could be (like Young or Ste Catherine) I still have high hopes for it and think it is not a lost cause...
With the Rideau Centre expansion coming up I am really banking on shops that are facing Rideau St to have a Street Entrance as well (just like the Forever 21 which is doing wonders for street presence with the mall). Also, hopefully The Bay's renovations can make for a better-looking more inviting street presence.
After that, you have a couple of shops down Rideau like Cora's, Urban Outfitters, The Beer Store, Rexall (in CP) etc... If more of those grimmy tattoo and bong shops can relocate and make way for better/more desirable shops and we can have some things like an expanded and nice Holt Renfrew a few blocks down on Rideau I really this the street could be a good main avenue and shopping destination... AT LEAST from Sussex to King Edward.
