Light Rail Transit. A common topic is WLRTC which is about Western Light Rail Transit Corridor planning for the route of Ottawa’s new train public transit system which passes near Champlain Park. After that, we’ll see more about LRT construction, and hopefully some time a notice about it being completed!
Via Heather, from the city:
Good afternoon,
Please be advised that OC Transpo has advised of upcoming changes to bus stops along Scott Street. Please feel free to share this information with members of your community.
On December 19th, in line with the Winter Service Change, there will be two stop adjustments on Scott Street.
Continue reading “Scott Street Bus Stop adjustments – December 19”
This is a slightly political message, but it’s worth posting since the recent bus route changes are of local concern. Problems with the new routes (such as not fully connecting across downtown Ottawa) have lead to this survey to get feedback to present to municipal candidates, and to the formation of the Ottawa Transit Riders’ Group.

Please be advised that OLRTC has begun with the electrification of segment 1 of the Confederation Line (Tunney’s to West Portal). This is exciting for the project and your ward but it is also important to remember that this is also a new danger that people need to be made aware of. To that end, I am attaching a bilingual education poster for you to share with your community association and neighbours. I will also be sharing this poster with the local schools.

If you know of a child or youth aged 16 or under who wants to be part of Ottawa’s history? OC Transpo are looking for creative, fun and unique names for each of our 40 train cars: 34 O-Train Confederation Line train cars and 6 O-Train Trillium Line train cars. Submit your name idea from now until Dec. 8, 2017 for your chance to have it featured on an operating O-Train car starting in 2018.
See http://www.octranspo.com/ready4rail for more about using the new rail service. And http://www.ligneconfederationline.ca/ for weekly newsletters (with photos) on construction progress.
In related news, there are bicycle repair spots at 10 OC Transpo stations. Locally, there’s a new one installed on the path at the Westboro station, see https://ottawa.ca/en/residents/transportation-and-parking/road-safety/cycling-safety#bike-repair-station
Following up on the LRT Bus Detour Meeting post, there’s a copy of the presentation materials at http://www.stage2lrt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/FIN_Scott_Detour_Presentation.pdf (other presentations and reports are at http://www.stage2lrt.ca/resources/).
Councillor Jeff Leiper’s archive of the live stream of the meeting is at https://www.facebook.com/KitchissippiWard/videos/714185092095248/ though there seems to be a longer one (possibly unedited footage) also at https://www.facebook.com/pg/KitchissippiWard/videos/.

Also see https://www.facebook.com/KitchissippiWard/ where there will be a live video stream of the city presentations and Q&A on Facebook starting at 7pm.
The Tom Brown Arena, 141 Bayview Road, will host a public information session April 4 so we can learn more about the temporary Scott Street detours coming as part of construction of Phase 2 of the LRT.
At the session, which starts at 6pm, city staff will show the preliminary plans for Scott Street between Tunney’s Pasture and Dominion Station including a temporary Scott Street extension to the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway that will run between the Transitway and Workman Avenue. We’ll also hear more about a temporary bridge over the Transitway near Roosevelt Avenue and intersection improvements at Scott Street and Lanark Avenue/Island Park Drive.

If you’re interested in maps and station plans of where the O-Train will go, more of them are now available online. Though for our neighbourhood, it’s pretty well settled that it will be in the existing transitway trench beside Scott street.

We would like to invite you to attend a public information session on the tunnel portion of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) line between Cleary Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue. We will be reviewing options for adjusting the current alignment under Richmond Road, including potential construction considerations on Byron Avenue and the Bryon Linear Park. Your feedback will be important in helping balance the importance we put on all three of these areas. The meeting is on September 14th, 2016, at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The purpose of this information session is to engage and obtain input from property owners, businesses and residents affected by this potential change. Stakeholder feedback and information will then be included in a forthcoming report that will go to the City’s Finance and Economic Development Committee (FEDCO) and City Council for final approval.

Nous aimerions vous inviter à une séance d’information publique sur le tronçon en tunnel de la ligne de train léger sur rail (TLR) entre les avenues Cleary et Woodroffe. Nous examinerons les façons de rectifier le tracé actuel sous le chemin Richmond, y compris les détails d’aménagement possibles sur l’avenue Byron et le parc linéaire Byron. Vos commentaires contribueront grandement à équilibrer l’importance accordée à ces trois secteurs. La réunion aura lieu le 14 septembre 2016 à l’église orthodoxe ukrainienne.
Cette séance d’information vise à attirer l’attention des résidents, des entreprises et des propriétaires fonciers concernés par l’éventuelle modification du tracé et à obtenir leurs commentaires à cet égard. Les rétroactions et les observations des parties concernées seront ensuite consignées dans un prochain rapport qui sera présenté au Comité des finances et du développement économique de la Ville (CFDÉ), puis au Conseil municipal aux fins d’approbation finale.
