Work will begin this spring on a new two-way bike track on the east side of MacKenzie Avenue, adjacent to the United States Embassy.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, National Capital Commission CEO Mark Kristmanson and American Ambassador Bruce Heyman signed a memorandum of understanding Tuesday to launch the tender for the construction work.
The plan calls for a segregated, partially raised “cycling facility,” built to the design standards of Confederation Boulevard, the NCC’s ceremonial route through Ottawa and Gatineau.
It includes the removal of the current unsightly “jersey barriers” in front of the U.S. embassy, which will be replaced by security bollards. Twelve parking spots along the southeast side of MacKenzie Avenue will be removed.
The project will cost $1.7 million, with the NCC contributing $750,000 and the city $825,000. In addition, the NCC and the embassy will cover the cost of replacing the jersey barriers and resurfacing MacKenzie Avenue.
The new bike track will connect existing cycling lanes on Sussex Drive, St. Patrick Street and the Alexandra Bridge to Wellington Street, Rideau Street and the Rideau Canal Eastern Parkway.
The NCC considers the project, which should be completed by early 2017, a legacy of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations.
