Construction Challenges • Coordinating Confederation Line project works (stations, guideway, MSF, vehicles, etc.) with: • Highway 417 expansion works; • OC Transpo transitway shutdown and bus detours; • Bundled civil projects (Queen Street renewal, Booth Street bridge, etc.); and, • Other City infrastructure projects (Rideau Street renewal, Ottawa Art Gallery construction, etc.). • Minimizing impacts to transit customers, property owners, commuters, and residents. Construction: Rideau Station Construction: uOttawa Station Construction: Hurdman Station Tunneling • The method of tunneling used was sequential excavation with three road header machines (named Chewrocka, Jawbreaker and Crocodile Rouge). • Excavation work started in Fall 2013 and was completed in Winter 2017. • Surface excavation was required for the tunnel ventilation shafts and station entrances at the Lyon west, Parliament west and east & Rideau west entrances. • Surface excavation was performed at the east and west portals on sections of the closed BRT, the Central Shaft (Queen & Kent), and station entrances at Lyon east and Rideau east.

    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.

    Transit Service During Confederation Line Construction – Updates for 2016 REPORT TRANSIT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT FAQs REPORT Transit Service During Confederation Line Construction – Updates for 2016 TITLE DIVISION: Customer Systems and Planning BRANCH Service Planning REPORT Pat Scrimgeour, Assistant General Manager, Customer Date: January 26, 2016 AUTHOR Systems and Planning SCHEDULED DATES FOR REPORT GM’s REVIEW OF REPORT TRANSIT COMMISSION COUNCIL January 19, 2016 February 17, 2016 N/A Q1. How long will the Confederation Line construction service adjustments last for? What are the next phases for service adjustments? A1. The O-Train Confederation Line is scheduled to open in 2018. Service adjustments will take place in sequential phases as sections of the Transitway undergo construction work. Each section of Transitway that closes for conversion to light rail will never reopen for bus operations. The remaining Transitway closures are: • April 2016 – Laurier Station to Lees Station; and • June 2016 – Tunney's Pasture Station to Merton Street. Timelines will be updated as information becomes available. Service adjustment plans will be implemented as these closures take effect. Stations will remain open during the construction period, with the exceptions of Cyrville Station, which was closed in June 2015, and Campus Station, which will close in April 2016. Q2. What are the main highlights of upcoming transit service adjustments during Confederation Line Construction? A2. The following are the main highlights of upcoming transit service adjustments during O- Train Confederation Line Construction: • On April 24, 2016, the Transitway will close between Laurier Station and Lees Station. Most transit service along this section of the Transitway will be relocated to Nicholas Street and Highway 417, using the bus-only lanes that have been built for this purpose.

  • IBI Group Ottawa LRT Release 10-07-19 FINAL
    Media Contact: Julia Harper, IBI Group [email protected] 416-596-1930 ext. 61187 or 647-330-4706 - For immediate release - IBI Group-Designed Confederation Line LRT Downtown Tunnel Opens to Public – Global design and technology firm designs underground segment of Ottawa’s largest infrastructure project – TORONTO, ON (October 7, 2019) – Global design and technology firm, IBI Group (TSX:IBG), completed the station design of the downtown tunnel portion of Ottawa’s Confederation Line – a 13-station, 12.5km light rail transit line with a 2.5km underground segment beneath the city center – which is now open to the public. As part of the Rideau Transit Group consortium, IBI Group led the design of the three underground stations – Lyon, Parliament and Rideau – creating iconic facilities that offer spacious and elegant designs with convenient passenger flow systems. This $2.1B, world-class transit system represents the largest infrastructure project in Ottawa’s history and is set to transform how people travel throughout the nation’s capital. “One of the challenges of designing underground transit stations is establishing a design that doesn’t feel like it’s underground. We wanted to create a lot of transparency within the station, focusing on a neutral palette to help bring more light into the space,” said IBI Group Transit Architecture Director, Charlie Hoang. “You also won’t see a lot of obstructions throughout our stations. When going down to platform level you will see a nice wide path to the concourse, then the stairwells, escalators and elevators. Our main goal is always to try to open that up if possible.” The IBI design team selected a neutral material palette, consisting of white, cream and light grey tones accented with stainless steel and glass to help bring more light into the space.
