I'm not keen on sidewalk riding but it's really the only way to ride safely in that area if you're doing it during normal hours. I think the plans for the roundabouts at HW/Alpine/etc. all have multi-use trails criss-crossing the area but I don't recall details. It would be nice to see a continuous stretch of asphalt running from the Iron Horse to at least Westmount but ideally up to F-H.
Yes, it is clearly the worst around. Strasburg to Cameron Heights along Ottawa sounds bad. At least there aren't a lot of driveways along the sidewalk (or many walkers for that matter).
There are a number of parks around there. What about connecting from Iron Horse to Shoemaker Greenway, Meinzinger Park, and across the Conestoga Parkway at Strasburg or at Concordia Park?
