- Brookfield Road
Brookfield Road (Ottawa Road #51) is a short, but important connecting street in
Ottawa ,Ontario ,Canada . It runs fromRiverside Drive (as a continuation ofHog's Back Road through lands owned by theNational Capital Commission ) past Brookfield High School to theAirport Parkway , and then in a separate segment as a local road in a residential area for some distance toward Bank Street.These two segments were continuous prior to the construction of the
Airport Parkway , which eradicated a small railway-junction settlement whose traces can still be seen just southeast of the interchange.The main segment of Brookfield is a four-lane undivided minor arterial road, with a speed limit of 50 km/h (30 mph).
Before
1997 , the NCC had control over Brookfield Road, as it connectedColonel By Drive to theAirport Parkway . However, it changed jurisdiction when the Airport Parkway was handed to the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton (now the City of Ottawa), making the NCC parkway link redundant.References
