Ottawa cyclists will now have an easier time getting from Albert Street to the Laurier Avenue bike lanes.
On Friday, the city unveiled a new stretch of its east-west bikeway project, one that connects the Laurier lanes with the existing multi-use pathway on Albert Street.
Cyclists now have access to a raised 1.5-metre-wide bike path on the north side of Laurier between Bronson Avenue and Percy Street, the city said.
A new multi-use pathway and a pedestrian crossing with a signal on Albert Street between Commissioner Street and Brickhill Street are also now open, the city said.
The east-west bikeway project was launched in 2013 to create a continuous path all the way from Westboro to Vanier.
