Rideau Canal Crossing Environmental Assessment – Public Open House on September 27

The City of Ottawa is undertaking an environmental assessment (EA) study to identify a recommended plan for improving multi-use (pedestrian/cycling) linkages over the Rideau Canal between the Pretoria and Bank Street bridges (commonly referred to as the Midtown Footbridge).
