Dominion Station (OC Transpo)
Encyclopedia
Dominion Station is a stop on the transitway
in Ottawa
, Ontario
. It is located north of the western edge of Westboro
village, where the below-grade transitway segment joins the Ottawa River Parkway
. The station is named after nearby Dominion Avenue.
Opened on 29 November 1999 as an intermediate station between the long-established Lincoln Fields
and Westboro
stations, Dominion Station consists of two bus shelters and a grade level crosswalk rather than a true station with platforms. It has no connections to local routes but is actually very close (225m) to the commercial strip on Richmond Road
in Westboro village and Westboro Beach.
It serves a primarily residential neighbourhood which previously had only the local Route 2 bus service on Richmond Road
for regular transit service. The Académie de Formation Linguistique building at 495 Richmond Road (the former Denis Coolican
Building, originally operated by the City of Ottawa
) is also served by this station.
This stop is also used frequently by cyclists as there are two bike pathways – one on each side of the parkway – which is part of a large network of cycling paths in the city.
Sunday Bike events in which the Parkway is closed westbound while cyclists are using the roadway. Buses travel on Richmond, Woodroffe and Carling instead. Eastbound service is not affected by the detour.
