I recently watched a mini documentary about Ottawa's transit and thought "wow, it needs more stuff" and decided to have some fun giving Ottawa more stuff.
*I do not live in Ottawa and am not the transit messiah, expect crazy weirdness.
Stop locations, names, and line locations are not 100% accurate/realistic this is mostly just for fun and for ideas.
It annoys me having all those heavy rail corridors and doing nothing with them (except Via sometimes). So expect crazed regional rail. Small stop spacing heavy regional rail (à la S-Bahn) networks do exists.
Idk about the extensions between Richmond & Brockville and Walkley East/Est & Cornwall, it's not super realistic but we're having fun here so.
Ottawa, why is your Hockey Arena 25km from downtown, like why is it so far???
In general, there is a lot of tunneled LRT. I like subways, Ottawa does not.
Ottawa is the city of interlining, I have provided them enough of it to satisfy them forever.
Line 8 is designed as a tunneled LRT but for the Baseline stretch I imagined a centre median alignment. I considered an east extension to like Avalon either at or above grade but idk. After that it would stay surface running because that's too much money otherwise.
If Toronto gets an Ontario line, Ottawa gets a Québec line. Vancouver stole Canada line and Edmonton stole Capital line, so we take what we can get.
I decided to extend Line 4 along Bank St because the train to the airport should probably also go downtown. Parliament is a weird chaos now.
Line 2 deserves to go to Gatineau, even if just for a little bit. Build a new bridge probably because the walking/cycle bridge there is nice. Or take it over either works. I feel the RapidBus connection is a very good idea.
