The City of Ottawa has initiated the Bank Street Active Transportation and Transit Priority Feasibility Study, between Highway 417 and the Rideau Canal.

The Official Plan designates Bank Street as a Mainstreet and Transit Priority Corridor, an Arterial Road and a Design Priority Area.

The study will:

  • Examine options to improve transit service efficiency and reliability along the corridor;
  • Investigate opportunities to improve the travel environment for active transportation modes;
  • Undertake an assessment of impacts and trade-offs;
  • Identify a potential pilot project for early implementation;
  • Identify costs for potential implementation; and
  • Consult with the general public and stakeholders.
