Ryan Reynolds Way is under construction in a new Orleans neighborhood.
In February 2022, the council approved naming a street after the Canadian actor, entrepreneur and football club owner in recognition of his services to the city of Ottawa.
A Reddit user posted last week that “Ryan Reynolds Way is completed” and the road has been paved.
The Ryan Reynolds Way is in the Caivan development of “Cassette”, in the area of Brian Coburn Boulevard and Mer Bleue Road.
According to the Caivan website, the first available homes on Ryan Reynolds Way sold out.
Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, made donations to the Ottawa Food Bank early in the pandemic, part of a $1 million donation to food banks across Canada and the United States. He also donated to the Distress Center of Ottawa and Region.
Reynolds participated in a running gag with Ottawa Public Health in which he posed as “Bruce,” the inept social media intern. He was also part of a group that initially sought to purchase the Ottawa Senators in the spring.
“It’s an incredible honor,” Reynolds said when former Mayor Jim Watson announced plans to name a street after him. “A deal is a deal, Mr. Mayor … I changed my daughter’s name to ‘Ottawa.'”
CTV News Ottawa reached out to Caivan Friday for more details on the development on the Ryan Reynolds Way, but received no response before publication.
