  • 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.

He immigrated to Canada on a steam ship in 1966, and became a naturalized Canadian and grew up in the Nation's Capital with his parents - a cleaning lady and a spy. After a sojourn in Europe in the 80’s too colourful to describe to gallery goers, Bhat Boy returned to Canada to attend the Ontario College of Art disguised as mild mannered Ian Van Lock. His studies included a year in Florence, Italy, where he learnt the technique of the masters. Bhat Boy spends much of his time traveling about with his paintings, selling work in Canada, the United States and Europe. He has had shows in Florence, Toronto, San Francisco, London, New York, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Ottawa. His work can be found on every continent but Antarctica. Bhat Boy's time is divided between the Nation's Capital where he has executed several public commissions and is founder of "Art in the Park" (an annual arts festival), and London, where pursues his professional carrer. He is an internationally renowned artist, and refers to himself and his work as an Envisionist. Bhat Boy is well known as a community activist and organizer in Ottawa. He has been an active member of the International Society of Art of the Imagination, since 1991. He continues to live and work in Canada’s National Capital.

  • OC Transpo O-Train Trillium Line Fare Gates Testing Go-Live
    FAQs – OC Transpo O-Train Trillium Line Fare Gates Testing Go-Live Q1. When will the O-Train Trillium Line fare gates be activated? A1. Starting November 1, 2017, OC Transpo will begin a phased customer testing period on O-Train Trillium Line fare gates and ticket machines at Carling, Carleton, Confederation and Greenboro stations. Customer testing will start at Carling Station on November 1 and make its way to Carleton Station on November 3, Confederation Station on November 6, and Greenboro Station on November 8. Testing is expected to be ongoing. Q2. What exactly will change for customers on Nov. 1? A2. At each station where the fare gate system has been activated, customers will enter through the fare gates by simply tapping their smartcard or scanning their transfer. New ticket machines will allow customers to check their Presto card balance and easily buy a single-ride fare, a DayPass or load their Presto Cards, using cash, debit and credit cards. Once purchased, customers can use their fare products immediately. Q3. Which functions will not go live starting Nov. 1? A3. During the first phase of customer testing, the live video chat feature where customers can communicate virtually with OC Transpo customer relations staff will not be available. Q4. Why is OC Transpo doing this in a phased approach? A4. OC Transpo is taking a phased customer testing approach to ensure a stable and successful system roll-out. This approach will also allow customers a chance to get to know the new O-Train Trillium Line fare gate functions in a real-life, high-traffic environment, and will allow OC Transpo an opportunity to work out any issues that may arise.
