Limebank is an under construction terminal station on the Trillium Line in Ottawa, Ontario. When constructed, it will be the southern terminus of the Stage 2 O-Train expansion and is scheduled for completion in 2024. The station will be elevated with two side platforms and is located southwest of the intersection of Limebank and Earl Armstrong roads. [1] [2] OC Transpo Rapid bus routes 74 and 99 will connect to this station once revenue service begins in 2024. [3]
This station will serve the Riverside South community within an expansive area zoned for commercial and retail purposes. As with the Bayview terminus station, it will feature a public washroom. When the Line 2 expansion becomes operational, OC Transpo Route 73 and OC Transpo Route 74 will be extended east from Nepean Woods station and Leikin station along Strandherd and Earl Armstrong, with a stop at Riverview station, before ending at Limebank station. [3] OC Transpo Route 99 will also be extended (albeit temporarily) to connect at Limebank station, with busses in either direction travelling south on Limebank Road to connect with the station, before reversing course and resuming their current routes for the revenue service of the Trillium.
As of May 2023, under the City of Ottawa's Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the undeveloped-yet-protected transit corridor linking Limebank station with Riverview station and the park-and-ride to the west is slated to be used for a bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. Despite this, there were growing local calls to zone this corridor for a future Line 2 LRT extension in the next version TMP, which was due to be published in late 2023 or early 2024.[ citation needed ]
