Carling Avenue (Ottawa)(Redirected from Carling Avenue)
Carling Avenue is a major east-west arterial road in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It runs from March Road in Kanata to Bronson Avenue in the Glebe. It begins north of Kanata and runs east until the Ottawa River where it bends south to go around Crystal Bay and Britannia Bay . At this point in runs in a straight direction towards the city core and ends at the fringes of the Glebe neighbourhood. It used to run all the way to the Queen Elizabeth Driveway , but the part east of Bronson was renamed Glebe Avenue. It is a four to six-lane principal arterial road for most of its urban length, with a speed limit of 60 km/h (about 40 mph). The portion through the Greenbelt and into Kanata is generally a two-lane rural highway (although widening is planned, which would also remove a substandard underpass in the 3700 block about midway between March Road and Moodie Drive ), with a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph). Carling is home to the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre , Carlingwood Plaza , the Royal Ottawa Hospital, the Ottawa Civic Hospital and the Old Dominion Observatory . It also runs along the northern boundary of the Central Experimental Farm , and Commissioner's Park . Carling is now known as Ottawa Road #38 but used be Highway 17B east of Richmond Road until the Ontario government downloaded the highway to the local government. Until the 1970s, the western part of Carling was also part of Highway 17 The addresses change erratically on Carling; they are not consistent from point to point and rise rapidly in the eastern part, then slow down to a very slow rise west of Bayshore. Major intersections (from west to east, approximate address point):
