“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.
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.
One of the most important things people who ride bikes can do is help build the case for cycling infrastructure by demonstrating through data that there is a need.
Board members Dave and Florence went to the Winter Cycling Congress earlier this year, hosted in Edmonton. Excited as we are about riding through the summer, we’re also thinking hard about what they learned.
