You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Somerset Street.jpg|right|thumb|Somerset Street, 1916]]
'''Somerset Street''' is a street in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. It is divided into '''Somerset Street East''' and '''Somerset Street West''' by the [[Rideau Canal]].

==Somerset Street East==
Somerset Street East is a short road that runs through the neighbourhood of [[Sandy Hill (Ottawa)|Sandy Hill]] from the [[University of Ottawa]] campus to the west and [[Strathcona Park (Ottawa)|Strathcona Park]] to the east. Somerset also used to extend east over the [[Rideau River]] towards [[St. Laurent Boulevard]]. However, that bridge was destroyed by flooding in 1952<ref>((cite news |title=New pedestrian, cyclist bridge over Rideau River opens ahead of schedule |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/adawe-crossing-opens-cycle-bicicyle-ottawa-pedestrian-bridge-1.3352384 |accessdate=6 May 2019 |work=CBC News (Ottawa) |agency=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=5 December 2015))</ref> and never replaced. The street was renamed Donald Street east of the river. In 2015, a new bicycle/pedestrian bridge ([[Adàwe Crossing]]) was completed across the river on the site of the old bridge,<ref>((cite web |last1=McGoldrick |first1=Michael |title=New pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Rideau River now open |url=http://gobiking.ca/2015/12/05/%E2%97%8F-new-pedestrian-and-cycling-bridge-over-the-rideau-river-now-open/ |website=GoBiking.ca |publisher=Michael McGoldrick |accessdate=6 May 2019))</ref> and the street has become an important bicycle corridor between the university and downtown Ottawa. By 2017, bicycle volumes accounted for 65% of street traffic and the street was re-striped with [[Cycling infrastructure#Advisory bike lane|advisory bike lanes]].<ref>Alta Planning + Design, (August 2017). [https://altaplanning.com/wp-content/uploads/Advisory-Bike-Lanes-In-North-America_Alta-Planning-Design-White-Paper.pdf Advisory Bike Lanes in North America], p. 34</ref>

==Somerset Street West==
[[Image:Somerset Street Ottawa.JPG|right|thumb|Modern view of Somerset Street West at Elgin Street, 2008]][[File:Chinatownsomerset.JPG|thumb|Somerset Street sign in [[Chinatown, Ottawa|Chinatown]].]]
[[File:Somersetsq.JPG|thumb|Somerset Square forms the western terminus of Somerset Street, when it turns into [[Wellington Street West]].]] 
Also known as '''Ottawa Road #36''', Somerset Street West begins at the [[Queen Elizabeth Driveway]] in the east and continues west to [[Wellington Street West]] where it ends at [[Somerset Square]]. Somerset Street West houses the backbone of Ottawa's [[Chinatown, Ottawa|Chinatown]], between Bay Street in the east to [[Preston Street (Ottawa)|Preston Street]] in the west, which is the centre of Ottawa's [[Little Italy, Ottawa|Little Italy]]. The area of the street between Bank and O'Connor is known as [[Somerset Village]].

The section west of Booth street was formerly known as Cedar Street, and the section between Booth and Bell streets was formerly Reserve Street.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.ottawahh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Map-of-Ottawa-1865.jpg|website=Ottawa History and Heritage in pictures|title=Map of Ottawa 1865))</ref>

The [[Ottawa Electric Railway]] ran along Somerset Street West between Bank Street going west towards Britannia Park.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.tundria.com/trams/CAN/Ottawa-1948.shtml|title=Ottawa 1948|website=www.tundria.com))</ref>

[[331 Somerset Street]], a former home of [[Prime Minister of Canada|Canadian Prime Minister]] [[William Lyon Mackenzie King]] from 1901 to 1910 during his time as [[Minister of Labour (Canada)|Minister of Labour]], is designated as an [[List of designated heritage properties in Ottawa|Ottawa heritage property]].<ref>Centretown News, Ainslie Cruickshank, October 27, 2010, [https://capitalcurrent.ca/archive/centretownnews/1997-2016/2010/10/27/somerset-street-west/ Somerset St West]</ref><ref name="citizen">[https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/465883282/ March 7, 1997] Ottawa Citizen, "Mackenzie King's Former Residence is Beyond Repair", Tony Lofaro.</ref><ref name="ainslie">Ainslie Kerr, "Clothes Closet Phone for the Young WLMK", Ottawa Citizen, June 27, 1951, p. 3</ref> 

==In between==
In the 1870s, as the area was developed, a bridge was proposed linking the two Somerset Streets over the [[Rideau Canal]].<ref>Maclaren, J. Plan of the By Estate, 1871</ref> However, this bridge never came into existence. Today, on the east side of the canal, there is a pedestrian link from the multi-use pathway that runs alongside the canal, across [[Colonel By Drive]], and under [[Nicholas Street]] and the [[Ottawa Rapid Transit|transitway]], onto the [[University of Ottawa]] campus. The street continues through the campus as [[Marie Curie]] Private, with traffic restricted to bicycles in the westbound direction.

The [[Corktown Footbridge]] connects the two sides, but is restricted to non-motorized traffic. The bridge opened to the public on September 21, 2006.
