Segregated Bike Lane Pilot Project
The City of Ottawa, in partnership with consultants McCormick Rankin, is conducting a planning study for a segregated bike lane pilot project in the downtown core. This Council-directed project represents a strategic initiative to improve the quality of life for Ottawa residents, benefit local businesses, improve safety for cyclists and attract a broader group of cyclists including women, children and the elderly.
The planning phase of this project is underway. The study area is from Preston Street to Elgin Street and Wellington Street to Catherine Street. The study will determine what east-west downtown streets are best suited for a pilot project and what type of facility is most appropriate.
Consultations with public stakeholder groups and a public open house will take place before results of the study are presented to the Transportation Committee.
