The system is really moving along. If you haven't been by the stations in a month or two, there has been big progress made. To me it's amazing how the actual stations look even better than the computer images. They are spectacular and massive. Plenty of natural light and windows everywhere. They look so inviting and it only makes the countdown till opening even more exciting.

Stay tuned to our Blog, more updates coming soon.

​There are not many rules for commenting on O-Train Fans, however common sense and respect are key and will be enforced. Please take a look at our general guidelines below.

Keep it civil aka don't be a jerk

We're going to get into the thick of a lot of heated discussions and that's okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas, not people.

So, remember to avoid:

• name-calling
• ad hominem attacks
• Responding to a post's tone instead of its actual content.
• knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don't have something nice to say about another user, don't say it. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated.

Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in

There are a lot of discussions that happen every day on websites. Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you're new there.

If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

Keep it tidy

Help make moderators' lives easier by taking a moment to ensure that what you're about to post is in the right place. That means:

• don't post off-topic comments or discussions: check to find the appropriate page for your comment
• don't cross-post the same thing multiple times
• review any specific posting guidelines for the community: some communities such as a movies community may have specific rules regarding spoilers.
• check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted
• If you see something, say something

Moderators are at the forefront of combating spam, mediating disputes and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you.

If you see an issue or If you believe someone has violated the Basic Rules, report it to the webmaster by sending an email to webmaster@railfans.ca/otrain

Thank you and happy commenting.

Corso Italia Station will be a new station located north of Gladstone Avenue. A single fare 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 mixed 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 sides of Corso Italia Station.

Westboro Station is an existing Transitway station to the north of Scott Street between Tweedsmuir Avenue and Athlone Avenue. The Transitway will be converted to accommodate LRT. The new main entrance will be located on Scott Street and an entrance on the north side of the existing Transitway trench will facilitate the non-fare paid transfer of passengers from the bus drop off area on the existing western bus access drive. From there, passengers will connect to the LRT platform below through fare gates.

Pedestrian connections linking the north and south side of the existing trench will be provided at the east and west side of the station. Bicycle parking will be provided in the Scott Street plaza area from the main entrance with passenger pick up and drop off (PPUDO) spaces provided in each direction of travel on Scott Street. North of the existing trench, and west of the station, a bus staging area to accommodate four buses will be provided.

Dow's Lake Station is one of the 5 original O-Train stations in Ottawa. Opened on October 15, 2001 with the initial network, this station is located off of Carling Avenue, just across from Dow's Lake. This station was originally named Carling, but was renamed in 2020 to Dow's Lake as part of the Stage 2 expansion to better align with nearby destinations.

This station primarily serves the businesses along Carling Avenue, the Rideau Canal and Dow's Lake, as well as providing a connection to the nearby Ottawa Hospital - Civic Campus.

Dow's Lake Station is accessible below street level by stairs and elevator access from Carling Avenue near the intersection of Preston Avenue in Little Italy.

The station's layout is relatively simple. From street level, a path guides you to the fare gate kiosk, and from there you have the option of taking the stairs or the elevator to platform level. The stairs have an embedded heating system, to aid in the removal of snow and ice during the winter.

This station was modified in 2017 to accommodate the installation of fare gates and the kiosk building. As a result, the stairs were slightly reconfigured as they previously were accessible directly from the pathway.

As there is only one platform to board trains in either direction, attention must be paid to the train's destination sign or the direction of travel of the arriving train, Greenboro for trains heading left and Bayview for trains heading right.

This station does not contain any public art on display. Its location below grade and away from the street provides a quiet area to wait, in a trenched area of cut rock.

UNIQUE FEATURES

This is the only Line 2 Station that is below grade, requiring access via stairs or elevator to reach the platform level from the entrance.

PUBLIC ARTWORK

Dow's Lake Station does not currently feature any public artwork.

STATION RIDERSHIP (November 2019)

• Balanced Boardings: 51,000
• Weekday Average: 2,000
• Weekend Average: 800

_{Balanced boardings are the average number of entries and exits at O-Train stations. O-Train Line 2 ridership is based on Automatic Passenger Counters aboard O-Train Line 2 trains.} 

Line 2 (Trillium Line) is currently closed and in the process of being expanded for the Line 2 South Extension, which will see longer trains and double platforms. Below are some concept renders of the expanded station (Line 2), scheduled to open in 2022.

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.

Kìchì Sìbì Station is an existing Transitway Station, which will be located within the existing Transitway trench between Dominion Avenue and Berkley Avenue. Bicycle parking will be provided in the station's public entrance plaza, which is designed to provide public access across the guideway linking pedestrians and cyclists from Dominion Avenue to Workman Avenue with direct connection to the NCC pathway on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.

The pedestrian bridge east of the station near Roosevelt Avenue will be decommissioned throughout construction. PPUDO spaces will be conveniently located near the station plaza on Dominion Avenue.

Sherbourne Station is a new station. The single station entrance will be located within the Byron Linear Park between Cleary Avenue and Sherbourne Road. The station entrance plaza will seamlessly integrate with the planned functions of the Bryon Linear Park, activating this node within the park. Bicycle parking will be provided in the station plaza and PPDUO spaces will be provided on both the north and south side of Bryon Avenue.

New Orchard Station is a new station located within the Byron Linear Park, immediately east of New Orchard Avenue. All station facilities and system support spaces will be completely below grade except for the fare paid entrance and emergency exits. New Orchard will also be constructed as an open station and the platforms will be located below the level of the existing grade.

Carleton Station is one of the 5 original O-Train stations in Ottawa. Opened on October 15, 2001 with the initial network, this station is located in the middle of Carleton University in Ottawa. This is also the only station on the Trillium Line with two platforms, one each for Northbound and Southbound trains.

This station primarily serves the students and faculty of Carleton University and is one of the main modes of transportation. As a result, Carleton Station is the busiest station on the Trillium Line when classes are in session.

Carleton Station is uniquely positioned in the middle of the university campus, and as such, the station and the tracks combined have the effect of separating the campus into two halves. Along the route through the campus, there are underpasses and overpasses for both pedestrians and roads.

The station's layout with two platforms requires it to have a pedestrian tunnel that passes underneath the tracks to reach the opposing platform. Trains enter the station simultaneously onto separate tracks and platforms. Once both trains are in the station and boarding is complete, the trains will depart and rejoin the single track line, having passed one another.

This station was modified in 2017 to accomodate the fare gate and kiosk installations, located adjacent to the platforms themselves. It is important to note that it isn't possible to switch platforms after passing through the fare gates without first exiting and re-entering through the fare gates on the other side.

UNIQUE FEATURES

Overall, Carleton Station is unique along the original Trillium Line stations due to its two platforms, the constant flow of passengers in and out of the station, and its location in the middle of the Carleton University campus.

• Balanced Boardings: 161,000
• Weekday Average: 6,800
• Weekend Average: 2,100

Line 2 (Trillium Line) is currently closed and in the process of being expanded for the Line 2 South Extension, which will see longer trains and double platforms. Below are some concept renders of the expanded station (Line 2), scheduled to open in 2022.

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.
