There’s no sugarcoating it: Stittsville Main Street is not a safe street for cycling.
A couple of years ago, Ottawa City Council approved a new Public Realm Plan for Stittsville Main that will see major improvements to cycling infrastructure on the street, including multi-use pathways (MUPs) on both sides. We’re working to secure funding through grants and the City budget to begin the upgrades. In the meantime, we’re stuck with a street designed in the early 1990s that left cycling as an afterthought.
I use my bike to get around the community and I try to avoid Stittsville Main as much as possible. I use parallel roads and connecting pathways instead. I’ve put this map together to show some of the north-south alternatives that you can use to bypass Stittsville Main Street.

Voies cyclables de rechange pour la rue Stittsville Main
(Photo par Barry Gray)
Il n’y a pas à dire : La rue Stittsville Main n’est pas sécuritaire pour les cyclistes.
Il y a quelques années, le Conseil municipal d’Ottawa a approuvé un nouveau plan du domaine public pour la rue Stittsville Main, qui prévoit d’importantes améliorations de l’infrastructure cyclable de la rue, y compris des sentiers polyvalents des deux côtés de celle-ci. Nous travaillons à obtenir du financement par l’entremise de subventions ainsi que du budget de la Ville pour commencer les travaux d’amélioration. En attendant, nous nous retrouvons avec une rue conçue au début des années 1990 qui ne tient pas compte des cyclistes.
J’utilise mon vélo pour me déplacer dans la communauté et j’essaie d’éviter la rue Stittsville Main autant que possible. J’utilise plutôt des routes parallèles et des sentiers connexes. J’ai créé cette carte pour montrer quelques-unes des voies de rechange nord-sud que vous pouvez utiliser pour éviter la rue Stittsville Main.
