Western Light Rail Transit Corridor: Update June 13, 2013

From Katherine Hobbs:

Dear Neighbours,

Today we announced a refined design for the western extension of the Confederation Line LRT which serves Kitchissippi. I have secured $80 million in design changes including burying the line near residences, enhancing access to the pathways, and a new green roof on Cleary Station. The changes go a long way toward a plan that works for Kitchissippi residents. Please be sure to watch this video to learn all about the design for this critical piece of city transit infrastructure for our community:

How did we get here?

Delivering transit from Lincoln Fields to the Transitway trench has never been resolved and has relied on using the NCC

Wellington Village is a vibrant Ottawa neighbourhood bounded by Island Park Drive to the west, Scott Street to the north, Holland Avenue to the east and the Queensway to the south. Tree lined streets, red brick facades, great schools, and a main street of independent businesses, food shops and artisans have helped turn this area into one of Ottawa’s most enjoyable communities. Most amenities are within walking distance, with plenty of green spaces for all residents to enjoy and easy access to the Ottawa River. The new LRT station at Tunney’s Pasture connects Wellington Village to the downtown and beyond in minutes.
