Policy Context
The City’s Transportation Master Plan includes a list of projects that will be implemented to address missing links or opportunities for expansion in the active transportation network. This list was developed based on public consultation, Councillor input and a city-wide network review. The Council-approved list was published in 2023 and later updated in 2025 to identify projects of priority. West Ridge Drive is one of these priority projects.
The project aligns with the City’s goals of improving pedestrian safety, providing safe and connected cycling facilities, and making it easier to cross the road.
Local Context
West Ridge Drive is a collector road, which means that it connects communities as well as the local and arterial road network. The project area (West Ridge Drive from Hazeldean Road to Stittsville Main Street) is adjacent to several parks and trails, including the Trans Canada Trail, Poole Creek Pathway, Alfred McCoy Park, and Coyote Run Park.
Currently, there are no cycling facilities that exist along West Ridge Drive.
Additionally, there is no sidewalk that exists on the south side of West Ridge Drive between Alfred McCoy Park and Sable Run Drive. A desire path has been formed by residents, showing demand for this missing segment.
