Posts about cycling infrastructure
Attention Ottawa: we have a problem. We’ve reached the point where we actually have lots of bike lanes (and cycle tracks, and paths). We have many people cycling. That’s all great news. But, we also have a lot of people who drive, and they use highways.
There will be an open house public meeting for the O-Train Trillium path extension from Young to Carling Avenue, on May 13, from 6 to 8.30pm, at St Anthony Hall (on the pathway). The city proposes construction for this fall. The path will be widened, landscaped, and partially paved.
The City suddenly cancelled the bike lanes on O’Connor in the Glebe stretch because of some parking complaints. We believe that this is unreasonable as several earlier plans call for a safe bike infrastructure in the Glebe as part of the Ottawa Bicycle Plan and a connected safe network.
It took a a couple of years longer than planned but the bridge is finally open. Judging by the large turnout (an estimated 300 cyclists and pedestrians) the bridge is going to be popular.
