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:

Downtown Ottawa Transit Tunnel (DOTT): Tunney's Pasture to Blair Station via a Downtown LRT Tunnel

Main Floor Rotunda Area

110 Laurier Avenue West

5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Transit Routes:

5, 6, 14, and Transitway routes

The City of Ottawa is undertaking planning and functional design for the DOTT that will result in the expansion and improvement of its downtown rapid transit network. This project is identified as a priority within the City's Transportation Master Plan Update, which recognized the need for a rapid transit facility fully separated from general traffic through Ottawa's downtown to accommodate existing and future transit ridership, while improving service reliability.

Rapid Transit Map

Previous open houses provided an overview of potential alignments and alternative station designs, as well as the Maintenance and Storage Facility needed to support operation of the new rapid transit line. In May, 2009 Ottawa City Council approved the recommended alignment and station locations. Since that time the project team has commenced functional design of the project to develop more details regarding the planning, design and construction and cost of all elements of the project.

The City has also carried out a study to determine the appropriate transit technology for the DOTT and future extensions to the City of Ottawa's rail rapid transit network. The findings and recommendations of this study will be presented as a part of this open house and presentation.

Your Input is Needed!

The open house and presentation will showcase the functional design work that has been completed for the DOTT project as well as the recommendations of the Transit Technology Choice Study. Your participation in this event, which will help shape the future of Ottawa, is important. The open house will run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The presentation will begin at 7 p.m.

Project Information

Information on the DOTT project is available on the City's website at: ottawa.ca/tunnel. In addition, you can send comments by e-mail, regular mail or fax using the contact information provided below.
