OC Transpo employees awarded 2018 Environmental Excellence Award promote sustainable environmental activities, and foster social and economic gains, by incorporating green cleaning products into its operations. The integration of sustainable cleaning products at OC Transpo targeted the traditional chemi- cal cleaning products that have been used in the past, replacing them with more sustainable, green cleaning and degreasing products. The integration of sustainable cleaning products resulted in a year- ly elimination of 21 tons of products and a 20-30% reduction of costs related to the purchase of these products.

    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.

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.

    10.0 Environmental Effects, Significance and Mitigation

    10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, SIGNIFICANCE AND MITIGATION To a large degree, environmental effects were avoided or minimized to the extent possible due to the nature of the project (i.e., conversion from BRT to LRT); and during the evaluation of the alternatives and the selection of the preferred alternative. Moreover, many mitigation measures have been directly incorporated into the recommended plan. This section describes the environmental benefits and potential environmental effects of the proposed project and mitigation measures for the effects that cannot be avoided. Sections Include: 10.1 Assessment Approach 10.2 Project Benefits 10.3 Impact Assessment Results, Mitigation, Significance and Residual Effects 10.4 Cumulative Effects 10.5 Accidents and Malfunctions 10.6 Municipal, Provincial, Federal or Other Approvals or Permits 10.7 Future Commitments 10-1 • the magnitude, spatial extent, and duration of the effects; irregularities, but would have no measurable effect on the 10.1 Assessment Approach • the proportion of a species population or the number of population, entity or group as a whole.
