Kent Street (Ottawa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kent Street (Ottawa Road #83) is a major street in downtown Ottawa, Canada. One block west of Bank Street, Kent is one way running north. It begins at Wellington Street in the north and ends at the Queensway. The street has many fewer storefronts than Bank Street. South of downtown it is mainly small and medium sized office buildings, with some restaurants and residences. The northern part of the street is home to several large office towers, mainly governmental. It was originally known as Hugh Street.
