There's a new proposal for a pedestrian bridge linking Ottawa to Aylmer—this one further west at the Deschênes Rapids.
As residents enjoy the capital’s new crossing at the William Commanda Bridge, there's a new proposal for another pedestrian bridge linking Ottawa to the Quebec side—this one further west at the Deschênes Rapids.
"This would be really great. I mean, people could live here and commute to work back and forth to the west end and so yeah, I would be very happy if they made such a bridge," said Aylmer resident and cyclist Richard Dufault. "By having that option…people who do need to drive can have an easier time doing it, but that the people who have another choice could maybe take it and get where they're going faster," Paape said.
"You move to an area because you like the existing way things are. And so typically you know, your gut response is 'I don't want a drastic change.' And that's fair. And that's the way everybody would typically feel to have a bridge dumped into their neighborhood," said Chris Conger, another Britannia resident.
