Riverview Station (OC Transpo)
Encyclopedia
Riverview Station is an OC Transpo
transit station located in the Riverside South community in Ottawa
, Ontario
. The station is located at the corner of Earl Armstrong Road and River Road.
Riverview was officially designated as a Rapid Transit Station
in the 2009 System Map and is part of an eventual rapid transit corridor that would linked with the existing Southeast Transitway that ends at Hunt Club Road
and South Keys Shopping Centre. The corridor was intended for a previous light-rail extension towards Riverside South which was cancelled in 2006. http://ottawa.ca/calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/tc/2009/05-20/ACS2009-ICS-TRA-0006.htm
The Station is located just across from the proposed Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge which is slated for completion in 2013 that would connect Riverside South with Barrhaven across the Rideau River
. A rapid transit corridor along Strandherd Drive and Earl Armstrong Roadis planned and would eventually connect to the Southwest Transitway extension currently under construction near Greenbank Road
and Strandherd.
A park and ride facility with 155 parking spaces is also currently under construction and would be open later in the year. A temporary park and ride area was built in the northwest corridor of River and Earl Armstrong until the completion of the permanent facility. http://www.octranspo.com/mapscheds/Service_Changes/2009/2009_SeptChange_menuE.htm
The station is the terminus of the newly-created rapid transit route 99 that connect Riverside South to Greenboro Station
via Albion
and Lester Roads as well as downtown during the peak hours.
The station is not to be confused with the neighbourhood of Riverview, which is located in another part of the city.
