It's time for a road diet. Let's make Bronson a healthy street.

A divide that sees six lanes of traffic and speed limits in excess of 80km/h. With no legitimate method of crossing the street (the pedestrian light at Brewer Park takes over a minute and a half to turn in some cases) university students and young children are put at the mercy of speeding cars.

As more people move into the town centers it would be nice to see a segregated bike lane and a reduction in vehicle speed. This would improve the overall safety for those crossing and traveling along Bronson. Its time Ottawa lives up to its promise of putting pedestrians and cyclists above motorists.

The best solution is to divert the Airport Parkway interchange directly onto Riverside Drive east to Bank St. that may include to tear down the RA Centre. Then Bronson should be diretced onto Riverside Dirve west only to Mooney`s Bay without any linkage with the Airport Parkway.

I fully support having wider sidewalks and creating a more homogeneous streetscape. It should have lush trees, pavers on the sidewalks, decorative street lamps and benches. Bronson is a key corridor into the cities downtown and should be prepped for a pedestrian oriented future not a car focused one.

Widening Bronson will only encourage already reckless drivers to drive even faster. As such, pedestrians and local residents will not be better protected by wider lanes and may even be at greater risk. Less than a hundred metres from my house, one person has been killed and two seriously injured (all pedestrians) by cars driving on Bronson in the last three months. Three months! A wider Bronson will not solve this.

The presumption that no sacrifice is too great if it yields a marginal improvement for car traffic seems to have been so deeply embedded as to be immune from any challenge. This is the exact opposite of the approach that is needed. We need to make the core a liveable human space, not a sequence of parking lots and expressways.

This is especially so for cyclists and pedestrians and needs to change. The road should encourage community-development by scaling down - expanding the sidewalk, installing a separate bicycle lane, adding advanced left turn signals to the lights at Somerset and Gladstone, and expanding the bus service. Bronson doesn't have to be like a highway. It could be a lovely road for everyone!

Lived on Arlington St. in 1970's near Bronson, and on Florence Street too, at McNab/Gladstone/Bronson end of Florence,it's a shame to have this Bronson so full of traffic then and now. Make it a people and bicycle and pedestrian street, not a truck and huge numbers of car, street. Make Ottawa functional, and beautiful, not half-way measures that ruin streets for healthful living.

No statistics were available on the number of pedestrians that use the corridor, or cross at intersections. Why is that?

I am also disappointed that Ottawa is failing to encourage walking as a form of transportation and instead catering to commuters that zoom through the neighborhood with little or no regard for pedestrian traffic. Crossing Bronson is dangerous. Walking on Bronson is dangerous, unpleasant and something to avoid at present. We can do better!

The recent Laurier Avenue reconstruction to reduce vehicle traffic to three lanes (one for bikes) shows that intelligently designed roads can be narrowed without causing traffic delays.

Ensure the City follows its own plan and focuses on pedestrians and cyclists first, and cars last.

A smaller street ensures a safe car speed! Prevent hit and runs, accidents, and injuries by slowing down traffic using the infrastructure, not only laws.

Make Bronson a beautiful street, great to live on and to walk on!

community in mind.

Let's give Bronson Avenue a road diet so it can carry the same amount of traffic while
connecting the community instead of dividing it. Let's Rescue Bronson Avenue.

This is a unique opportunity to make Bronson a bit more "livable", without jeopardizing its role as a main traffic artery. For the sake of the human beings who live in this city, try the "road diet" option that has been successful in Toronto and other cities

I hope that as much attention is given to pedestrians, traffic calming and the overall ambience of the residential neighbourhood as is given to car and driver safety.
