    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.

  • Dayton, Ohio Invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging
    Published by the Electric Traction Committee, Edmonton Trolley Coalition Edited by Retired Employees of the Edmonton Transit Service VOL. 36 Adopting Tomorrow’s Technology Today: Dayton, Ohio invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging After lengthy testing, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) is buying 26 NexGen Electric Trolleys and will put the first production model in service by 2019. The RTA Board authorized spending up to $57.4 million for the 26 vehicles and parts, plus 15 more NexGen Trolleys that will be bought once federal funding is in place, Executive Director Mark Donaghy told reporters. It is the largest bus contract in RTA history. The NexGen Electric Trolleybus bus costs 63 percent more than a standard diesel transit bus, but has a 20-year, 800,000 mile life compared to the diesel’s 12-year, 500,000 mile life, Donaghy said. Electric trolleys are cheaper to operate, better for the environment and quieter than a diesel bus, he explained. “Using electric instead of diesel buses is a step towards a clean air environment for Dayton,” said Peggy Ann Berry, an occupational safety and health professional and Climate Reality Project leader in Dayton. “Diesel buses release dirty fossil fuel emissions into the environment. These emissions exacerbate asthma attacks as well as add to the cardiac burden of older adults.” RTA is now finalizing the cost of the NexGen after making several modifications to the prototype. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is picking up 80 percent of the cost, and the rest comes from the local sales tax and rider fares.

And, in -R a way, they're right, although the "National Dream" was not a train , but the title of Pierre Berton's novel about the history of an idea that resulted in Canada's first transcontinental railway, known, for simplicity's sake, as the CPR. For ninety years, Canadian Pacific Railway has been in the minds of Canadians and others, and especially in 1974, when a television series, based onMr. Berton's two volumes on the construction of the CPR was- shown in eight installments on television in Canada. People around Penticton, British Columbia and the Carmi Subdivision of the Kootenay Division were and are particularly conscious - and proud, for it was a mere 50 miles away from their town that filming of some of the most spectacular country was done for the television series. Ex-Canadian Pacific steam locomotive Number 136, a 4-4-0, lea­ sed from Ontario Rail Association of Brampton, Ontario and fitted with a mushroom stack for the occasion, with a boxcar, baggage car and coach of early vintage, was brought all the way out west, via Crowsnest Pass, along CP RAIL's tracks in southern British Columbia.
