OTTAWA -- Another downtown Ottawa street is closing to cars to make it more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, and help people physically distance from each other.

A downtown section of Bank Street will be closed to motor vehicle traffic on Saturdays starting this weekend, the Bank Street BIA announced Wednesday. “By opening Bank Street to the greatest number of people, we hope that foot traffic into businesses will increase, and at the same time, give more space to customers and clients to safely wander Bank Street,” the BIA said in a release.

The street will be closed to cars between Queen and Flora streets from 9 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. this Saturday. The BIA says the closure will happen every Saturday through Aug.
