On January 31, 2025, the Ottawa Police Services released their annual report on vehicle collisions in Ottawa.
Five of the top twenty intersections for collisions are in River Ward, including the intersections that ranked first, second and fifth.
Topping the list, Riverside and Hunt Club, had seen, in recent years, a decline from its top spot as well as a steady decline in overall collisions.
Would staff please outline the root causes of the collisions at this intersection, what physical improvements have been made this decade to improve safety and whether any other changes can be made at this intersection to reduce the number of collisions.
In addition, the intersection of Carling at Kirkwood is consistently ranked worst in the City for the number of collisions (ranked 2nd last year).
What makes this vast intersection unique, is its two Queensway offramps that contribute to the volume of traffic.
Would staff please outline the root causes of the collisions at this intersection and whether staff can recommend modifications that can be made at this intersection to reduce the number of collisions.
