The city will release its 2015 collision analysis this month, but Metro Ottawa has obtained the Ottawa police data in advance – and it’s got some good news.
The raw numbers show a big drop in reported cycling and pedestrian collisions – 21 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively, over 2014 police stats.
City and police staff have refused to comment on the numbers – or even what’s behind the decline – until the numbers have been crunched and released publicly.
