If you prefer to avoid the highway, head east on Wellington Street West, which turns into Somerset Street taking you into Ottawa’s downtown core. Continue south on Kirkwood Avenue past the highway, where it merges with Merivale Road taking you north until it hits Prince of Wales Drive taking you into Barrhaven, or travel west on Richmond Road which takes you through Bells Corners, Kanata, and Stittsville until it merges onto Highway 7 meaning you can drive from Westboro to the Greater Toronto Area with minimal turns.
