Three active transportation research and planning projects across the Ottawa region will go forward thanks to an investment of $150,000 from the Government of Canada. Announced by Minister Jenna Sudds, these projects will support the development of active transportation projects for pedestrians and cyclists in Ottawa.
This investment will help create an action plan for safe and inclusive active transportation in the Glebe and Central Ottawa. Funding will also support research for accessible paved pathways in Manotick and determine the feasibility of implementing a School Streets Program in Ottawa.
Thes investments are part of Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy, which aims to create and improve pathways, bike lanes, and pedestrian bridges all over the country. It's a big step towards healthier living and creating tight-knit communities, making a better-connected Canada for us all!
