Hi John,
The Ottawa cycling group is working on a "Level of Traffic Stress" map
which is different than this. This is because, my understanding, is
that the City of Ottawa (for better or worse) uses LTS as their
official way of measuring how they're doing on cycling
infrastructure. If you want the city to make changes, you need to
talk their language.
However, I think ultimately, "bikeability" is where the Ottawa team
wants to get to. I've heard it mentioned that the existing work is
meant to identify important gaps in the cycling network.
Too bad we couldn't collaborate better across the country on cycling
activities. Is there a national organization focused on cycling?

I think the OSM article uses a variety of inputs.

It looks as if some work has been done in Vancouver.
It needs thinking through and combining both OpenStreetMap data and
other sources.
"Bikeability: The term bikeability refers to the level of
interaction between factors of the built and natural environments
associated with the demand for cycling including infrastructure,
slope, land use (destinations), and connectivity. This definition
was derived from this study
<http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1068/b38185>."
Note it's not only cycle paths etc but destinations and other
information.
The cycling organisations might understand it better. I think also
the City of Ottawa has a person or group who promotes cycling and it
might be worth involving them.

Within weeklyosm there is a article on bikability. I am
aware that some mappers in Ottawa are working with the local
cycle groups,could something be done for Ottawa?
