Manotick - Multil-Use Pathway (MUP) between Main St and River Rd and addition of MUP to two bridges

completed

Design: This project will develop designs to modify two bridge cross-sections for a protected area for cyclists, as well as develop designs for connecting links to the bridges. Since Manotick is largely situated on an island in the Rideau River, these bridges offer one of very few interconnections between the community and surroundings. The original bridges were designed without cyclists in mind, and in their current condition provide no reserved or protected cycling facilities. Transit options in this rural village are very limited. By providing a cycling connection over the bridge residents east of the Rideau River will have access to Express Routes 205 and 186.
