  • Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And
    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT Que la Commission du transport en commun prenne connaissance de ce rapport. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The opening of O-Train Line 1, the Confederation Line, will mark an exciting and historic transformation in the way transit service is delivered in the city of Ottawa. OC Transpo has been working with the Rideau Transit Group (RTG) and partners from across the city to transform the current transit service into a world-class multimodal transit system and ensure a positive end-to-end customer experience starting on day one. The opening of Line 1 and the major changes to the bus route network that will follow, will be the largest service change ever for OC Transpo customers. Because our customers are our priority and their experience through and beyond this transitional period is important to us, OC Transpo staff are committed to ensuring that customers are prepared, comfortable and knowledgeable about these changes and the transition period in which they will occur.

  • 1874862-2019-Trilliumconsultation-Submission
    29 March 2019 Dear Abdir, Re: RDIM- 1874862-2019-TrilliumConsultation-Submission Thank you for your inquiry regarding the O-Train Trillium Line, as part of the City of Ottawa’s Stage 2 Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project. We appreciate your feedback. As you are aware, the Stage 2 Trillium Line alignment will extend the existing passenger service line south from Greenboro Station to a new terminus at Limebank Station, in proximity to the Riverside South and Barrhaven communities. Previous feasibility and environmental assessment studies reviewed opportunities to extend the Trillium Line further west, however technical issues demonstrated that the planned Riverside South community would not be compatible with the existing Trillium Line diesel rail technology. In 2011, the City undertook the O-Train South Expansion Feasibility Study to investigate the possibility of an extension of the Trillium Line to Riverside South Town Centre. The study found that the extension of rapid transit service using the exiting diesel technology would require a larger infrastructure footprint due to the wider width of the vehicles and higher station platform height when compared to electric light rail, as well as grade separations throughout the alignment. The planned Riverside South community, with multiple at-grade roadway crossings, closely-spaced light rail stations, and semi-exclusive light rail operations in the median of the east-west spine street in the town center, would not have the necessary space to permit the rail extension. As noted in the City of Ottawa 2013 Transportation Master Plan, the City’s 2031 ultimate rapid transit and transit priority network includes twin-electric LRT from Bayview Station to Riverside South.

  • Trillium Line Extension Planning and EA Study – Information Bulletin
    Trillium Line Extension Planning and EA Study – Information Bulletin The Project In 2014, the City of Ottawa initiated a Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of the diesel-powered Trillium Line (formerly O-Train) from its current terminus at Greenboro Station south to Riverside South (Bowesville Road) and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, as well as new stations at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road on the existing Trillium Line. The plan also allows for future conversion of the Trillium Line to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology. The study consists of two parts. Part A includes the main line extension to Riverside South (Bowesville Road), including new stations at Gladstone and Walkley, and Part B includes a branch line to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Note that Part A of the study has been identified by Ottawa City Council as a component of the Stage 2 LRT plan, to be implemented in the near term. The study area includes: the existing Trillium Line corridor between Bayview and Greenboro Stations; the current Walkley Yard maintenance and storage facility; the proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road); and the proposed branch line to the Airport, as shown in Figure 1. The planning phase of the study concluded with City Council approval of the Recommended Plan on 8 July 2015. The approvals phase of the project is initiated by a Notice of Commencement issued by the City on 24 September 2015.

As previously communicated at the June 19, 2019 Transit Commission meeting, O-Train Line 2 service will be temporarily replaced by R2 bus service from mid-July to mid-August: O-Train Line 2 service will be temporarily replaced by R2 bus service from July 15 to July 21; From July 22 to August 18, Line 2 will run between Greenboro and Carling Stations only, with R2 bus service running between Bayview and Carling Stations; Customers will be able to connect between R2 buses and Line 2 trains at Carling Station; and, Regular O-Train Line 2 service is scheduled to resume at 6 a.m. on Monday, August 19. As in previous years, this work will be completed during the summer when ridership is lowest and to avoid conflict with major events and with the Carleton University school year. While the MTO completes preparatory construction works, OC Transpo will also be undertaking annual track maintenance and completing upgrades of the signal system on Line 2, funded by the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF).
