Confederation Line East LRT Extension
The City of Ottawa is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the extension of LRT from Blair Station to Trim Road along the Ottawa Road 174 (OR174) corridor in accordance with the Transit Projects Assessment Process. This LRT line will provide fast, reliable service to the communities of Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, Orleans, and rural Cumberland. A total of eight stations are proposed between Blair Station and the Trim Park and Ride.

Consultation was held in 2013 to introduce the need for alternative solutions to address problems on the OR174 and CR17 corridor.

Open House information and presentation:

• Project update including integration of LRT in the HWY 174 corridor from Blair Station to Trim Road
• West of Trim Road, development and evaluation of the integrated alignment alternatives for the LRT and HWY 174 widening including the preferred LRT alignment and corresponding HWY 174 widening
• East of Trim Road, development and evaluation of alternative road corridors from Trim Road to Landry Road including the preferred road corridor
• Gather feedback

This is the second of four rounds of public consultation that will be held during the course of the HWY174 / CR17 widening EA study and the first of three rounds of public consultation for the East LRT Extension EA Study to review and discuss the project with the study team and solicit feedback.

The East LRT extension is one of three environmental assessment studies underway as part of Stage 2, the City’s plan to extend the benefits of rail to residents further east, west and south that will add 19 new stations and 35 kilometres to our LRT network.
