The Montreal Road Revitalization project in the City of Ottawa is an example of excellence in the improvement of facilities to encourage and benefit people who walk, bike, or use other forms of active or public transportation. Overall, this project demonstrates significant improvement to the safety and attractiveness of active transportation in the community. Since the projects recent completion, this critical corridor has already seen an increase in the use of active transportation modes to support the socioeconomic growth and environmental sustainability of the neighbourhood. The Montreal Road Revitalization project is an excellent example of how active transportation principles can be applied in underserviced communities to construct vibrant and welcoming streets with well-balanced transportation networks.
