Also, Ottawa west of Homer Watson is shown without bike trails but as "bike friend"...which is...about as far from reality as possible. Seems like the region's GIS data is getting a bunch of garbage in it again.
Google Maps' cycling data has always been pretty suspect, for years it didn't believe that you could cycle north on Manitou Dr through the Bleams Rd roundabout, it would always detour you around it. Amazingly I just entered a test route from the Eidelweiss to Qdoba and now it will let you. I wonder when that changed, as the last time I entered a real route a few months ago that was still messed up...
As a driver semi regularly using Strasburg Rd to get to Zehrs and Hong Kong Seafood, I have no desire to ever cycle down any significant length of it. I'll stick with the Homer Watson MUT.
Edit to add: Also, using the roundabout to go left on Ottawa from the Homer Watson MUT also scares me. Going right and down Ottawa to the Kehl beg button is waaaay safer.
