OTTAWA — A missing link in Ottawa’s cycling network is one step closer to completion.
On Oct. 3 the city’s transportation committee approved entering into a front-ending agreement that would bring a continuous cycle track on each side of Booth Street, connecting the future Pimisi light-trail transit station with the Ottawa River Pathway, behind the Canadian War Museum.
Painted bicycle lanes would also go farther north, connecting to the Zibi development on Chaudiere and Albert islands, noted a media statement.
Under the agreement recommended to city council, the City would reimburse Windmill Dream Zibi Ontario Inc. up to $1.86 million once the infrastructure is designed and built. The agreement includes protected intersections, with cross rides and bicycle signals to maximize safety and convenience for all users. To minimize disruption and expedite the project, the cycling facility would be co-ordinated with the developer’s underground infrastructure work, the statement explained.
The approved item was to be considered by city council on Oct. 10.
