  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sir John A. Macdonald Riverfront Park Plan Public Consultation Report March 23, 2016
    Sir John A. Macdonald Riverfront Park Plan Public Consultation Report March 23, 2016 Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway Riverfront Park – Land Use Plan Public Consultation Report I – Project Description Background The National Capital Commission (NCC) has begun a land use plan for the John A. Macdonald Parkway Riverfront Park that spans the south shoreline of the Ottawa River between LeBreton Flats to the east and Mud Lake to the west. The plan will provide a vision and principles to guide the development of this part of the National Capital while determining its most suitable activities and uses. Objective The goal of creating a riverfront park along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is to increase use of this sector by: • Showcasing the corridor’s spectacular scenery and views • Showcasing the Ottawa River’s heritage and ecology • Reconnecting people with the river. The sector’s many uses (walking, cycling, contemplative activities, etc.) enhance quality of life for residents and improve the visitor experience. Planning Phases Phase 1: Existing Conditions and Issues Phase 2: Draft Concept and Planning Principles Phase 3: Final Plan II – Consultation Process Overview The goal of this third public workshop was to obtain public feedback on the draft concept for the overall park and the preliminary concept for the section between Westboro Beach and Woodroffe Avenue (2.4 km). The ccept proposes short- and long-term measures and a medium- and long-term strategy to beautify the park. It takes into account public feedback from the May 2015 consultations as well as input from professional expertise in land use planning, landscape architecture, and engineering.
