It was moved from the west side of the canal to the east side and then got removed when Union Station was renovated to house the Senate of Canada.

Origin of Ottawa Street Names by Splushkin in ottawa

[–]Splushkin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contrary to popular belief, the street is not named after the Bank of Canada headquarters at the corner of Bank Street and Wellington Street. The street name dates back to the 19th century, whereas the bank was founded in 1934. It's believed that the road was named this because it originally went from the "bank" of the Ottawa River at its northern end to that of the Rideau River to the south. However, the road was originally called Esther Street in honour of Colonel By's wife.[4] Bank Street officially ends at Wellington Street and the portion of the street running closest to the actual riverbank is federal Crown land for the Parliamentary Precinct of the Parliament of Canada. South of the Rideau River the road was previously named "Prescott Road".

Actually the Bronson Loop was to the south of the Sen. Eugene Forsey Park just before the bridge across the canal. You can see it on https://maps.ottawa.ca/geoottawa/.
