From the City Of Ottawa today:
Maitland overpass active transportation infrastructure
Ottawa has many great bike paths along the canal, the Ottawa River and the Rideau River. One of the more underrated bike paths in the city is the Experimental Farm Pathway. It isn’t just great for recreation; it connects important parts of our community by an active transportation route.
North River Road proposed improvements
You may recall that back in March 2022 a cyclist was killed at an intersection on North River Road. This summer, Bike Ottawa visited the site with the president of the Vanier Community Association to see what could be done to move promised changes forward.
