The National Capital Commission is peddling forward with its active transportation program on Queen Elizabeth Driveway despite calls to reopen the road to vehicles, saying it is "proud to provide safe, accessible, and unique active use experiences and destinations throughout the capital."
"We are displacing more than 10 cars per minute, instead of using the road are now using residential streets," Sutcliffe said Thursday. The statement also says, "Surveys conducted last year by the NCC indicate that 91 per cent of respondents are supportive of the continuation of the NCC active-use programs."
"I think the people of Ottawa are capable of thinking about more than one thing at a time. We are dealing with multiple issues as a city, we always are," Sutcliffe said.
