INTRODUCTION From the information provided, it is our understanding that 2507701 Ontario Inc. owns the majority of the downtown city block bounded by Bay Street, Albert Street, Lyon Street and Slater Street. The redevelopment plan for the lands will be phased over a number of years and will be comprised of a range of land uses. A Transportation Brief was previously provided for Phase 1 of the redevelopment, located in the southwest quadrant of the block bounded by Bay Street and Slater Street, to be known municipally as 383 Slater Street. Phase 2 of the redevelopment will consist of two additional towers, one in the southeast quadrant of the block, fronting Slater Street and Lyon Street, and the other in the north end of the block, fronting Albert Street. The proposed Phase 1 and 2 of the redevelopment will consist of three towers with an approximate total of 378 residential units, 136 hotel rooms, 28,621 ft2 of retail land use, and 361 parking spaces. With regard to site access/egress, a two- way driveway connection providing access to the underground parking garage is proposed mid-block on Bay Street. The proposed loading dock will be underground and trucks will access/egress the loading areas via the ramp connection to Bay Street. The site was previously occupied by two low-rise office buildings and two parking lots with an approximate total of 65 parking spaces. Currently the buildings have been demolished and the entire site is now used on an interim basis as a surface parking lot with approximately 80 parking spaces. The local context of the site is provided as Figure 1 and the proposed Site Plan is provided as Figure 2. Figure 1: Local Context Based on the ensuing trip generation and our review of the City’s October 2006 Transportation Impact Assessment Guidelines (TIA), a combined Community Transportation Study/Transportation Impact Study (CTS/TIS) is considered the appropriate type of study for both Phases 1 and 2 of the redevelopment. For the purpose of this assessment, the study area will consist of the signalized intersections of Bay/Albert, Bay/Slater, Lyon/Albert, and Lyon/Bay. 400 Albert/393 Slater Development

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.

  • The Train Is Coming: Confederation LRT Line Begins to Take Shape
    The train is coming: Confederation LRT line begins to take shape Matthew Pearson, Ottawa Citizen October 13, 2015 The city's new Alstom Citadis Spirit LRT trains are being assembled at a massive assembly plant on Belfast Road. Roger Lalonde / City of Ottawa In a little over a year from now, Ottawa residents may be able to sneak a peek at the light-rail trains set to transform the city’s public transportation system. Shiny, new Alstom Citadis Spirit trains could begin travelling up and down newly laid tracks between Blair station and Belfast Yard, where the vehicles are being assembled, in order to test the system in advance of its opening in 2018. In the meantime, hundreds of people are working above and below ground every day on the massive undertaking, which city officials are often quick to remind people is Ottawa’s single largest infrastructure project since the building of the Rideau Canal. Matthew Pearson brings us up to speed on what’s finished and what lies ahead in the coming months. Transitway transformation Closed since the end of June, the eastern leg of the Transitway between Hurdman and Blair stations is a full-on construction site these days. The roadway surface from Blair to just east of St. Laurent station has been torn up as crews pulverize the asphalt and prepare to re-grade the road and lay tracks. Many of the old stations between Hurdman and Blair have been torn down or are in the process of being demolished. At Hurdman, a key transit hub that links east-west buses with those serving the south end, foundations for elevated guideways are almost complete and crews are now starting to pour concrete for the deck.

Recommendation • N/A Submitted by: Pierre Vaillancourt, Acting Vice President, Capital Planning Branch_ Name _____________________________________________________ Signature Submission: 2020-P218 Page 1 of 6 Federal Land Use, Design, and Transaction Public Approval Submission 1. Authority National Capital Act, Section 12 2. Project Description The Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) is conducting a study to support the implementation of a rapid transit system linking Gatineau’s West End (Aylmer) to downtown Gatineau and downtown Ottawa in the next 8 to 10 years (2028 to 2030). The project also aims at looking to connect to the City of Ottawa Light Rail (O-Train) system and the existing Rapibus system which links Gatineau’s East End to downtown Ottawa. The proposed alignments and scenarios impact NCC properties and assets in certain areas of Gatineau Park and the Capital Core Area Lands, including Confederation Boulevard. The STO Draft Planning Study will identify and confirm the preferred corridor(s) within City of Gatineau boundaries, along with the preferred bridge crossing(s) over the Ottawa River and the proposed transit system route in downtown Ottawa.

    ------------------ Email no. 1 and response ----------------- De : etudedelouest Envoyé : 25 juin 2020 12:17 À : Cc : '[email protected]' Objet : RE: STO Proposal Dear , We thank you for your message that received our full attention. 1. The STO project will not entail any shut down or impact on Line 1. However, it might require some construction work at the existing Line 1 stations if the final recommendations include the construction of pedestrian tunnels between the tram of Gatineau and Line 1 stations. Of course mitigation measures will need to be developed fully to reduce the impact as much as possible. Finally traffic studies are currently being carried out to measure the impacts of the proposed modifications. The integration of a tram would attract more users to public transit and therefore reduce the number of vehicles coming to downtown Ottawa, which in turn limits the traffic pressure exerted on several other corridors in the city center, as compared to not having a tram. Thus, traffic analyzes show that, in general, each scenario with a tram would improve future traffic conditions compared to the status quo. 2. The design of a tram on Wellington Street would have to be in line with the functional and security constraints of the area. A pedestrian tunnel at Lyon Station would be designed including the most stringent safety requirements. We noted also that integrating a tram on Wellington Street will likely significantly impact many of accesses to Parliament Hill in order for the tram to run efficiently and safely. Concerning the possible transit service disruptions due to demonstrations and other special events on Wellington Street, alternative arrangements would be required to ensure service continuity.
