Folks, The NCC is proposing detouring the Ottawa River Parkway and demolishing the Parkway between the Portage bridge and the railway tracks.
There are two cyclists' issues I see. 1. I think the Ottawa River recreational path should continue along the old Parkway route and over Booth Street on the existing overpass that seems doomed at the moment. This would avoid the current level crossing at Booth. 2. The lanes proposed on the detour are each 3.5m wide. I would suggest the curb lane be wider than the passing lane to allow more room for cyclists. This is City policy, but it's an NCC road. It you want to comment to the NCC<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> , you have until tomorrow, July 25, which is their comments cut-off date. See the bottom of http://www.canadascapital.gc.ca/corporate/youropinions/pm_lebreton_e.asp The exhibits show various maps of the area.
