Stations

Bayview Station is an existing transfer station on the Confederation Line and also serves as the north terminus station of the Trillium Line. The existing single-track Trillium Line station platform located on the lower level will remain in place and be extended to accommodate the new longer Trillium Line trains. A second track and platform will be provided on the east side of the alignment to allow the station to operate as a two-track station, creating enhanced operational flexibility.

The two platforms will be connected by a partially enclosed walkway to allow customers access to each platform from the station entrance to the Confederation Line without being completely exposed to the elements.

A new fare controlled entrance and plaza will be provided at the southern end of the western train platform extension. Located adjacent to the new entry, outside of the fare paid zone, a vertical circulation core consisting of two elevators and stairs will serve a new fully enclosed pedestrian bridge providing the public a safe, direct, and weather protected connection across the Trillium Line corridor connecting to the adjacent development on Albert Street.

Trinity Developments Inc. have agreed to fund this pedestrian bridge link from their future development at 900 Albert St., which will be implemented through the Stage 2 project.

Corso Italia Station will be a new station located north of Gladstone Avenue. A singlefare paid entrance will be centred upon the alignment with a new station plaza integrated with the existing Gladstone Avenue Bridge. The public plaza design will include a mix zone near Gladstone Avenue to allow the mixing of pedestrians and cyclist utilizing the north-south MUP in a controlled manner, while the eastern edge of the public plaza will be separated from the north-south MUP with landscape and urban design elements to prevent the uncontrolled mixing of pedestrian and cyclists within in the plaza.

The station is being designed to protect for a second level to ensure overhead connections are supported from future development on both the east and west side of Corso Italia Station.

Dow’s Lake Station is an existing station located north of Carling Avenue served by an entrance from the adjacent MUP to the east of the alignment. A new elevator will be constructed to provide redundancy in serving the station entrance and platform. In addition to the new elevator, the existing elevator will be refurbished.

Design and construction of the station will not preclude a future double tracking, as well as a potential connection to the future hospital site, south of Carling Avenue.

Carleton Station is an existing station with two platforms serving Carleton University and surrounding areas. The station is located between Campus Avenue and University Drive at the intersection of Campus Avenue and Library Road. It has two existing fare paid entrances, one from the east and one from the west. The existing fare control enclosure will remain. There will be a new additional pedestrian underpass structure north of the station platform to support Carleton University’s long-range development plans.

Taking advantage of the shut-down of Trillium Line and the major civil works planned, a new pedestrian tunnel segment will be constructed below the tracks for future connection to the university’s tunnel system, with the potential to provide direct weather-protected access to the station from the University’s tunnel network.

Mooney’s Bay Station is an existing station located south of Heron Road, which will be served by one fare paid entrance located west of the alignment and accessible from the adjacent MUP. The existing fare control enclosure will remain. The station will be designed for any modifications needed at the entrance enclosure. Platform extensions will be designed and constructed with all related shelters and requirements.

Walkley Station will be a new station located south of Walkley Road adjacent to commercial property to the east. The station will front onto Walkley Road east of the South East Transitway Station and will consist of stairs and elevators from the entrance to the platform within the fare paid zone. It will include a combination of signage, architectural elements, and landscape features directly adjacent to Walkley Road to clearly announce the station location from Walkley Road.

Trillium Line vehicles will be cleaned, inspected, maintained, washed, stored and operated from Walkley Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF).  A new facility is being built to perform maintenance on the seven Stadler FLIRT vehicles being procured to support the extension and the existing six Alstom Coradia Lint Trains.

Greenboro station is a transfer station on the existing Trillium Line. Platform extensions will be designed and constructed with all related shelters and requirements.

South Keys Station is an existing Transitway station located adjacent to the South Keys Shopping Centre, which will be expanded to serve as a transfer station between the Airport Link and Trillium Line. The station will be a centre platform station and include a minimum of one fare paid entrance. The fare paid entrance will be from the passageway 25 connecting the MUP on the west side of the expanded Trillium Line corridor to the existing Transitway entrance.

A roof will shelter the Airport Link passengers transferring to the Trillium Line.

A new rail-over-road bridge will cross Lester Road, west of the intersection at Albion Road South and Lester Road. This grade separation will allow the LRT to travel on a dedicated guideway between South Keys Station in the north and Leitrim Station in the south, without impeding vehicular traffic on Lester Road.

A major connectivity enhancement near the Lester rail-over-road bridge is the freight track connection to National Research Council lands, south of the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

A new rail-over-road bridge will cross Leitrim Road, west of the intersection at Albion Road South and Leitrim Road.

This grade separation will allow the LRT to travel on a dedicated guideway to Leitrim Station, without impeding vehicular traffic on Leitrim Road.

Leitrim Station is an existing bus station and park and ride facility located south of Leitrim Road. The new Leitrim Station has been designed to act as a transfer station for buses and rail. The existing Park and Ride will be expanded to accommodate 330 parking spaces, initially, with a future capacity of up to 925 spaces.

The new station will have a minimum of one fare paid entrance with access to the park and ride. It will be designed and constructed to allow the bus platform to remain accessible to the public while securing the train platform during non-operating hours.

Bowesville Station will be a new station located east of Bowesville Road and south of Earl Armstrong Road. The new station is a line and transfer station with a park and ride facility, which will be constructed with an initial capacity of 800 spaces and designed to facilitate a capacity of approximately 2,000 spaces. It will provide parking facilities for southern communities such as Greely, Manotick and Metcalfe.

The station will have a minimum one fare paid entrance and designed to allow the bus platform to remain accessible to the public while securing the train during non-operating hours.

Limebank Station will be a new terminal station located west of Limebank Road, south of Earl Armstrong Road and east of Main Street. The station will have a minimum one fare paid entrance with access to Main Street, the north east-west Connector Road, and the future south east-west Connector Road.

It will be designed as an urban station with direct access to the on-street bus facility located to the north of the alignment.

The image below shows the main station plaza with the platforms above circled in blue, and the Limebank rail-over-road bridge circled in red.

Uplands Station will be a new station located east of Uplands Drive adjacent to the EY Centre. The station will have one fare paid entrance serving the EY Centre and future development north of the alignment. The plaza and site will be designed to accommodate EY Centre event patrons. The access road will be realigned directly in front of the EY Centre and the existing parking will be reconfigured to allow for direct sightlines and access to the station from the EY Centre entrance.

Airport Station is a new station at the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and will represent the terminus of the Airport Link. It will be a new elevated station located adjacent to the airport departure roadway and the airport passenger terminal building. The entrance and lounge will be an extension of the airport terminal building and the station platform will be at the same elevation as the third level of the airport passenger terminal building.

The design of the station will be closely co-ordinated with the Airport Authority throughout design development as they will extend the existing airport passenger terminal structure to the station. The station, platform, guideway and guideway structures will be constructed to allow the Airport Authority to construct the airport passenger terminal expansion, including the entrance and lounge directly, together.
