Today, Chandra Arya, Member of Parliament for Nepean, and His Worship Mark Sutcliffe, Mayor of the City of Ottawa, announced a joint investment of $500,000 to support seven active transportation planning projects in Ottawa.
The City of Ottawa will assess the feasibility of various active transportation improvements, including new multi-use pathways and accessible crossings at several locations throughout the city, with the aim of making the network more accessible for residents and visitors. These projects will help the City of Ottawa promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity within the community by offering residents more convenient options to walk, bike and roll to their destinations safely.
Funding announced today contributes to Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by supporting activities that will help expand networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
