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.

MANAGING Andrew Macklin We had released the 2020 Top100 Projects report and were EDITOR [email protected] getting set for the Key Players and Owners Dinner, which we host every February in Toronto as a celebration of the accomplishments GROUP Todd Latham PUBLISHER of the industry in developing infrastructure megaprojects. I had heard through one of my colleagues that a couple of well-respected PUBLISHER Nick Krukowski members of the industry wanted to chat with me at the event and I should seek them out. So I did. ART DIRECTOR AND Donna Endacott SENIOR DESIGN My first thought was that, not having nearly the expertise as many of you, that I had somehow managed to royally screw something ASSOCIATE Simran Chattha up. Or perhaps they wanted to tell me that I should try a different EDITOR tact to the report? Maybe a new idea for adding a complementary DIGITAL MARKETING Becky Umweni piece for this report? But as it turned out, they wanted to have a COORDINATOR conversation with me about… language. DIGITAL The language of this report has become, to some, quite convoluted. Connie Vitello EDITOR As different jurisdictions use the language familiar to them, it can often mean that, from one project to the next, different words are EVENT Natasha Mawji MANAGER used to describe the same thing.

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.
