Queen Street is an east–west arterial road located in Downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
[2][3] The road is only 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) long, making it a little longer than Sparks Street.
[5] The city is expanding the pedestrian infrastructure on the street, adding wide boulevard sidewalks, priority crosswalks, and additional landscaping.
[8][9] While the water mains on Queen Street were being replaced in 2013, workers discovered several human bones and later an historical burial site.
The burial site was Ottawa's oldest Christian cemetery dating back to around 1828-1845.
