Capital Ward Councillor Shawn Menard has proposed a redesign of the Bank Street Canal Bridge: three vehicle lanes, two northbound and one southbound, with two widened pathways on either side, thereby improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Sketch of bridge redesign provided by Shawn Menard.

Full details, including other options that were considered, are available on the Capital Ward website.

Please share your feedback on the proposal to CapitalWard@ottawa.ca. And OSCA’s Traffic & Safety Committee would also appreciate receiving a copy of your comments at trafficandsafety@oldottawasouth.ca.
