Bayview station is an O-Train interchange station in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, connecting lines 1 (Confederation Line) and 2 (Trillium Line).
History
Bayview station opened on October 15, 2001, as the northern terminus of the O-Train (now known as the Trillium Line). An infill station on the Transitway between Tunney's Pasture and LeBreton (now Pimisi), with a pair of elevated bus platforms at the western end of Albert Street, openend the same day.[1] Paved asphalt footpaths connected the two stops on opposite sides of the Transitway and the train platform.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On January 17, 2016, the transitway platforms closed for conversion to light rail, with all buses diverting via Albert Street. The station reopened on September 14, 2019, as an intermediate stop on the first phase of the Confederation Line, making Bayview an important rapid transit transfer point.[2][3]
On September 16, 2017, the eastbound bus stop of Bayview station was moved 300m west to facilitate the construction of the Trinity Development at 900 Albert Street.[4]
During the reconstruction of the station, the original Line 2 O-Train station was closed and a new platform was constructed to the north, underneath the Line 1 station.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
During the Stage 2 south expansion, the original Line 2 platform was extended to accommodate the longer trains that would be used on the line, and a second platform was added for operational flexibility. A pedestrian bridge was also constructed from east to west over the Line 2 platforms, intended to connect with the future development at 900 Albert.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Location
The station, named for the nearby Bayview Road (now Bayview Station Road), is close to Tom Brown Arena. It is intended as a catalyst for large redevelopment including condos, hotels and the city's future tallest office and residential tower at 900 Albert. Plans also exist for converting a 1940s warehouse into a film studio and build an attached 15 storey "innovation hub".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Layout
The Line 1 station is an elevated side platform station. A ticket barrier at platform level on the south (eastbound) platform provides access to Albert Street. Under the station, a concourse connects the two platforms with the single Line 2 platform, and also contains a ticket barrier giving access to a footpath connecting the built-up area south of the station with the greenspace to its north.[5] As part of the Stage 2 Trillium Line expansion, the existing Line 2 platform was extended to accommodate longer trains. A second track and platform was also built to the east of the existing tracks.[6]
The station features two artworks: Cascades by Pierre Poussin, a set of two large sculptures located in the greenspace surrounding the station, and As the Crow Flies by Adrian Göllner, a linear sculpture running atop the barrier between the two tracks on the Line 1 platform level.[5]
