Description
Hurdman is an existing bus transit station along the Transitway, which will serve as a major transit transfer point with the new train station along the OLRT while continuing to serve as a bus station for the South-East Transitway.
Hurdman Station will facilitate pedestrian connections between the termination of the Transitway and local buses and the LRT station. The Transitway and local buses will have a combined station on the south side of the LRT station. Sufficient space has been allocated at Hurdman Station for circulation, bus drop-off and lay-by areas.
Wide pedestrian corridors provide easy access to the station entrances for passengers traversing between the two modes of transit. All passenger connections are made without the need to cross roadways. The combination of the structure for the LRT tracks and the station platform above provide a canopy shelter covering the bus platform below.
The station will connect to existing NCC pathways adjacent to the Rideau River and Riverside Drive.
Track & Platform Configuration
This station has a centre 120 metre platform located between two sets of rails. Provision is made to allow the platform to be extended to 150 metres when ridership volumes warrant.
Descent / Ascent
Trains will be accessed one level above grade. The distance is approximately seven metres up. Passengers arriving on buses will ascend one level. Passengers may descend and ascend via stairs, elevators, or escalators.
Connections
Access to the Transitway and local buses is provided via the south entrance. Access to the multi-use paths is provided via the north entrance.
Future Consideration
The lands to the north of the station are planned for future development by the National Capital Commission. Discussions have been initiated to ensure the station design can be integrated into the development.
