Project Type: Transportation Infrastructure – Intersection Upgrade

Developer/Lead Agency: City of Ottawa – Infrastructure and Water Services Department

Project Overview

This project will deliver a major redesign of the Hunt Club Road / Bank Street intersection to improve vehicular operations, transit service, cycling connectivity, and pedestrian safety. Key upgrades include:

• Addition of a new eastbound vehicle through lane
• Addition of a new westbound bus‑only through lane
• Conversion of northbound, eastbound, and southbound right‑turn lanes into smart channel configurations
• Implementation of bicycle cross‑rides on all four legs of the intersection
• Reconfiguration and improvement of all pedestrian crosswalks
• New 1.80m cycle tracks along Hunt Club Road from approximately 80m west of Bank Street to Albion Road
• New 1.80m sidewalks adjacent to cycle tracks
• Crosswalks and cross‑rides at all right‑turn channels

These improvements will enhance safety, accessibility, and multimodal connectivity at one of the busiest intersections in the south end.
