Bank Street (Ottawa)

Bank Street (Ottawa)

Bank Street (French: Rue Bank) is the major north-south road in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It runs south from Wellington Street in downtown Ottawa, south through the neighbourhoods of Centretown, The Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Alta Vista, Hunt Club, and then through the villages of Blossom Park, Leitrim, South Gloucester, Greely, Metcalfe, Spring Hill, and Vernon before exiting the city limits at Belmeade Road.

Bank Street made up much of Ontario Highway 31 before it was downloaded in 1998 (all of it south of Heron Road). Currently it is also known as Ottawa Road #31. Bank Street is also popularly known as Metcalfe Road south of its junction with Conroy Road, though this name is not officially recognized.
