  • 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.

  • Vimy Memorial Bridge Ottawa, Ontario
    Vimy Memorial Bridge Ottawa, Ontario - Unique iconic bridge meeting the requirements of UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site. - A positive social and environmental effect by means of a bridge intended to inspire and interest the public. - Attention to aesthetics both globally and in detail to create a structurally sound engineered and aesthetically pleasing bridge. Vimy Memorial Bridge Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards 2015 Transportation Category (B) Project Description Parsons was retained by the City of Ottawa to create a design for a new bridge crossing the Rideau River and hence connecting the urban communities of Riverside South and Barrhaven in the South of Ottawa. The Rideau River at the bridge location is part of the Rideau Canal System, a recognized National Historic Site in Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The design had to be compatible with the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation as well as meet the stringent design guidelines set by the City of Ottawa and the various approval agencies, including the National Capital Commission, Parks Canada, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, First Nations (Algonquin of Ontario), Transport Canada, and Transport Canada Marine. An overhead structure comprised of tubular triple arches that clear spans the waterway with a 125m main span exceeded the imposed design requirements and resulted in an iconic gateway structure that provided an integrated net positive environmental effect from the natural, social, economic, and environmental perspective. This bridge is unique and first of its kind in North America with triple tubular steel arches supporting a suspended deck using inclined hangers. As Prime Consultant, Parsons provided services including concept design; preliminary design; final detailed design; and contract documentation, inspection, and engineering services during construction.

  • 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.

  • BUS HISTORY ASSOCIATION 2019 CONVENTION Ottawa on and Gatineau QC – Wednesday, June 5Th to Saturday, June 8Th All Photos by Kevin Nicol, Unless Otherwise Indicated
    BUS HISTORY ASSOCIATION 2019 CONVENTION Ottawa ON and Gatineau QC – Wednesday, June 5th to Saturday, June 8th All photos by Kevin Nicol, unless otherwise indicated The Bus History Association (BHA) convention was held in Ottawa this year. It had been 16 years (2003) since the BHA held their convention there. As with the past 3 Canadian conventions (Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver), Mario Seneviratne organized a fan trip on the day before the start of the convention. Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) is one of the few remaining transit systems in Canada that still operates high floor vehicles (not including cutaways). STO, along with Coast Mountain Bus Company (Orion V suburbans), Sarnia (1 Orion V) and Cold Lake (2 Classics as back up) are the only systems that still operate the venerable buses. Their days are clearly numbered though except possibly for Vancouver where they have a few years left. STO still operates MCI Classics that formerly operated in Calgary. Bus # 9136 was chosen for the charter which is ex-Calgary # 5106. The charter started at Terrasses de la Chaudière in Gatineau. BHA members had to take regular transit to get to the start location and most rode OC Transpo route 97 from the host hotel of Hilton Garden Inn and Suites – Ottawa Airport. Upon arriving at Mackenzie King bridge, we alighted route 97 and transferred to route 44 for the ride to Gatineau. People who arrived early were able to take many photos. OC Transpo services Terrasses and one of the new Nova LFS buses arrived during our time there.
