Open house will explain proposed changes to improve transit times in the Glebe

Residents are invited to an open house about the Bank Street Active Transportation and Transit Priority Feasibility Study on Wednesday, September 24 at 7 pm at Blessed Sacrament Parish, 194 Fourth Avenue.

More information about the study can be found on the project page on Engage Ottawa. Registration is not required to attend the open house.

This is a follow up to a similar open house held in June 2024 where residents were asked to consider various proposals to reconfigure Bank Street, between the Queensway and the Rideau Canal, to improve transit reliability and travel times and conditions for walking and cycling. Since then, City staff has been reviewing the feedback and working with local partners to arrive at a recommended design.

City staff will present their recommendations and a proposed street design at the September 24 open house. The proposal will be presented to the City’s Transportation Committee later this fall and, if accepted, then to Council soon after.

Residents are encouraged to attend the open house or visit the project page on Engage Ottawa to learn more about the study and the proposals.
