Trillium Line Extension to Riverside South and the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Environmental Assessment Study Open House The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment Study to develop an approved plan to extend the City’s existing diesel-powered Trillium Line (O-Train) service from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road), as well as a branch line to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road. You are invited to attend one of the following sessions: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 6 to 8 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, Ellwood Hall 1265 Walkley Road OC Transpo routes 1, 8, 41, 87, 114, 144 and 146 Free parking is available Thursday, January 15, 2015 6 to 8 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) St. Anthony’s Banquet Hall 523 St. Anthony Street (at Preston) OC Transpo routes 14, 85 and the O-Train Free parking is available The study is being undertaken in accordance with the transit project assessment process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The primary study area includes the existing Trillium Line corridor between Bayview and Greenboro Stations, the current Walkley Yard maintenance and storage facility, and the proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road) and the Ottawa International Airport. The plan will include options to serve the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, as well as new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road on the existing Trillium line. The plan also allows for a future conversion to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology. The Trillium Line extension is one of three environmental assessment studies underway as part of Stage 2, the City’s plan to extend the benefits of rail to residents further east, west and south that will add 19 new stations and 35 kilometres to our LRT network.
