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. -

Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1
Document 2 Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1. Background Bells Corners has been identified as needing economic development activity, particularly, measures are needed to incent urban revitalization. Over the last several decades, the quality and vibrancy of the Robertson Road corridor, between the CN Railway bridge on the east and the City-owned railway bridge (now a multi-purpose pathway) on the west, has declined significantly, resulting in a lack of business investment; declining levels of property maintenance; and the closure, downsizing, and/or relocation of many existing businesses. Some 468 business have closed or moved away from Bells Corners in this period, and well-known brands like Staples, IKEA, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's, 2nd Cup, Alexanian Carpet, Burger King, Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, and Pizza Hut are all long gone. Hurley’s, a former thriving restaurant, was replaced by Local Heroes, but now it too has downsized and moved across the street, leaving a large vacant building. The restaurant that initially opened as Corkscrew Restaurant at 3795 Richmond Road (now 1961 Robertson Road) has housed a long list of businesses since Corkscrew’s failure, including Buffet Palace, Vox Lounge, Houston's Restaurant, and Miss Saigon, but now all have failed, and the building has been torn down and the land sits vacant. The purpose of this Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is to encourage and facilitate rehabilitation, redevelopment, and revitalization of the existing built environment while providing enhanced employment opportunities, all of which are important for the health and liveability of this section of Bells Corners. The CIP benefits private landowners undertaking redevelopment projects on private property; however, the eligibility and reporting criteria require that the tenants creating the jobs are made aware of the CIP incentives so they can negotiate appropriate lease terms with complete information. -

Vimy Memorial Bridge Ottawa, Ontario
Vimy Memorial Bridge Ottawa, Ontario - Unique iconic bridge meeting the requirements of UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site. - A positive social and environmental effect by means of a bridge intended to inspire and interest the public. - Attention to aesthetics both globally and in detail to create a structurally sound engineered and aesthetically pleasing bridge. Vimy Memorial Bridge Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards 2015 Transportation Category (B) Project Description Parsons was retained by the City of Ottawa to create a design for a new bridge crossing the Rideau River and hence connecting the urban communities of Riverside South and Barrhaven in the South of Ottawa. The Rideau River at the bridge location is part of the Rideau Canal System, a recognized National Historic Site in Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The design had to be compatible with the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation as well as meet the stringent design guidelines set by the City of Ottawa and the various approval agencies, including the National Capital Commission, Parks Canada, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, First Nations (Algonquin of Ontario), Transport Canada, and Transport Canada Marine. An overhead structure comprised of tubular triple arches that clear spans the waterway with a 125m main span exceeded the imposed design requirements and resulted in an iconic gateway structure that provided an integrated net positive environmental effect from the natural, social, economic, and environmental perspective. This bridge is unique and first of its kind in North America with triple tubular steel arches supporting a suspended deck using inclined hangers. As Prime Consultant, Parsons provided services including concept design; preliminary design; final detailed design; and contract documentation, inspection, and engineering services during construction. -

1874862-2019-Trilliumconsultation-Submission
29 March 2019 Dear Abdir, Re: RDIM- 1874862-2019-TrilliumConsultation-Submission Thank you for your inquiry regarding the O-Train Trillium Line, as part of the City of Ottawa’s Stage 2 Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project. We appreciate your feedback. As you are aware, the Stage 2 Trillium Line alignment will extend the existing passenger service line south from Greenboro Station to a new terminus at Limebank Station, in proximity to the Riverside South and Barrhaven communities. Previous feasibility and environmental assessment studies reviewed opportunities to extend the Trillium Line further west, however technical issues demonstrated that the planned Riverside South community would not be compatible with the existing Trillium Line diesel rail technology. In 2011, the City undertook the O-Train South Expansion Feasibility Study to investigate the possibility of an extension of the Trillium Line to Riverside South Town Centre. The study found that the extension of rapid transit service using the exiting diesel technology would require a larger infrastructure footprint due to the wider width of the vehicles and higher station platform height when compared to electric light rail, as well as grade separations throughout the alignment. The planned Riverside South community, with multiple at-grade roadway crossings, closely-spaced light rail stations, and semi-exclusive light rail operations in the median of the east-west spine street in the town center, would not have the necessary space to permit the rail extension. As noted in the City of Ottawa 2013 Transportation Master Plan, the City’s 2031 ultimate rapid transit and transit priority network includes twin-electric LRT from Bayview Station to Riverside South. -
