“Bank Street Active Transportation and Transit Priority Feasibility Study”. The name is a mouthful. And with such a title you’d expect this project would try turning this hostile thoroughfare into a street for people. Unfortunately so far it doesn’t live up to those expectations.
The City of Ottawa not only refuses to acknowledge a basic principle of transportation planning, but is propagating a myth.
Last Saturday, June 15, 2024, another important missing link in our Active Transportation network was opened to the public. We now have a wonderful new and very wide bike, walk and roll bridge across the Rideau River, connecting Carleton University with Vincent Massey Park and beyond.
Thanks to Cassie Smith, Councillor Jeff Lieper, and Bike Ottawa President Florence Lehmann, and all the parent volunteers and kids!
