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.
For a minute there, we were pleased. Nothing major, mind you, but hey, we take what we can get.
Bike Ottawa has done quite a lot of work on the need to make bike parking accessible for all kinds of bikes. Bike theft is one of the main reasons people don’t bike, so good racks that can accommodate cargo bikes, bikes with front baskets, bikes with wide tires, trikes, etc. are essential.
“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.
