Mayor Mark Sutcliffe is not a fan of the National Capital Commission’s decision to close portions of Queen Elizabeth Driveway to cars.
The NCC made the stretch of the driveway between Fifth Avenue and Somerset Street a route for active transportation – cyclists and pedestrians – during the pandemic, but has continued the practice since. But that’s having a negative effect on the surrounding neighbourhood and traffic flow, Sutcliffe said.
