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. -

Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?
Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens. -

Ian, As Always I Would Happily Defer To
Sustainable Living Ottawa East Vie ecologique d’Ottawa Est _______________________________________________________________ July 3, 2013 Robin Bennett Cycling Facilities Coordinator City of Ottawa Rideau River Western Pathway - Recommendations of OOECA and SLOE Dear Mr. Bennett: The Old Ottawa East Community Association (OOECA) and Sustainable Living Ottawa East (SLOE) are pleased that the City of Ottawa is developing a functional design for the Rideau River Western Pathway (RRWP) and we welcome the opportunity to provide our suggestions and recommendations for the design work. In 2010, City Council identified the RRWP as one of five high-priority missing links that would close gaps in the urban part of the City’s cycling and pedestrian “off-road” network. Indeed, this work would have implemented a longstanding component of the Official Plan whereby a multi-use pathway was planned to run along the west side of the Rideau River all the way from Sandy Hill's Strathcona Park to Old Ottawa South's Linda Thom Park at Bank Street. However, because of budgetary pressures, funding was not allocated for the RRWP, much to the disappointment of the Old Ottawa East community. Although for many decades there has been a rough path along the 2.5-kilometre stretch of the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East, it wasn't until 2006 that the community, though SLOE, began concerted efforts to make the pathway a critical part of the community and, really, Ottawa. …/2 2 SLOE conceived the pathway as the "Rideau River Nature Trail," and its development was to "enhance the ecological integrity of the shoreline, maintain the existing sense of tranquility, improve amenities and provide better connectivity." In short, the pathway, in the view of the community, is far more than just "another piece of transportation infrastructure." Under the leadership of SLOE, our defined goals are for a completed pathway that will: Help protect and promote the beauty and biodiversity of the Rideau River and its shoreline. -
Pathway Network for Canada's Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI
Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best. -
