Council Direction:
June 27, 2012
The City presented details and preliminary analysis of
15 corridors
Council was not satisfied
Identified that clear interests of the community
must be considered and reflected
Directed to align with City, NCC planninginitiatives

Understanding the Carling Options
Compromises the network and operations
Would require continued bus service in the north,
including using the Parkway for the foreseeable
future
2 3 times the cost of other options
Potentially very visually intrusive
7.1 km underground is impractical

Carling via O-Train
Not Recommended for Further Analysis

Transportation Network Perspective:
Fractured Network
O-Train (andservice from the
airport) terminates
at Carling and
requires a transfer
O-Train cannotconnect to Gatineau
10
Reduced transit service
to Tunneys, Westboro,
and Dominion

Transportation Network Perspective:
Connection to Tunneys Pasture
From East:Every 3-4 train to Tunneys
11
From South West:
Transfer at Baseline
(replacing Tunneys)
OR
Maintain BRT connection

Transportation Network Perspective:
Capacity Implications
14
30 trains/hr.
(2 min. service)
6 trains/hr.(10 min. service)
10-minute service inadequate
for employment at Tunney
s
24 trains/hr.(2.5 min. service)
Inadequate for demand from
the west and southwest

Portion south of Lincoln Fields is common to all as
it generally follows the current Southwest
Transitway
BRT and LRT in corridor between Lincoln Fields and
Queensway
New BRT connection to Queensway
Iris Station will be modified to suit LRT

What We Heard (so far)
Community Concerns
Should protect not ruin Byron Linear Park
Should connect not physically divide community
Should encourage not restrict access to
greenspace, waterfront and pathway network
Should avoid not make use of the Parkway

Where We Are Headed
Challenged ourselves to find options that respond to
what we heard, while:
Maintaining the integrity of transit long range
financial plan
Meeting transit ridership goals
Allowing for continued citywide network
investments
