How walkable will this be in the winter?Ottawa walks to work more than any other city in Canada.
A city of walkers
Ottawa is a city of pedestrians. More people commute by foot in Ottawa than any other city in Canada.
In 2008, the city developed a Pedestrian Plan. Very little in this plan has been realized.
Walking and sustainable transit solutions need to be a priority – on paper and in practice.
Walking problem? Tell us.
Use this site to pinpoint areas where the City of Ottawa could improve walking infrastructure: sidewalks, intersections and traffic signals.
(Remember: for temporary problems like snow removal, please call 311.)
Get involved
Next meeting: May 9 – 7pm in the Honeywell Room at City Hall. There will be a presentation by Chris Brinkman and Kevin Wylie of the Roads & Traffic Operations & Maintenance Branch, to talk about signals.
