Rideau Street is a major street in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is one of Ottawa's most famous Streets. It serves as the major East-West Street for Ottawa's Lower Town. The street used to be Ontario Provincial Highway 17B before it was downloaded in 1998. It runs from the Rideau Canal in the west (it turns into Wellington Street) to the Rideau River in the east, where it turns into Montreal Road. The area between Sussex Drive and King Edward Avenue is a huge shopping district that includes the Rideau Centre. Rideau Street is also home to the Chateau Laurier and the Conference Centre.
