Description
Lees Station is situated along the Transitway between the Highway 417 and the Lees Avenue overpasses, south of Queensway and just to north of the Rideau River.
The existing station platforms are approximately seven metres below street level, with access provided via stairs and elevator towers on both sides of the station. The existing cycling and pedestrian pathway connections extend from the south side of the Rideau River share the Highway 417 underpass on the east side of the station and continue north towards the downtown core. Recreational pathways extend from the station south on the west side of the LRT corridor to the future city pathways.
The cycling path proposed to link Campus Station to the Rideau River and to Hurdman Station to the east has been integrated within the westbound platform which stretches along the entire length of the north side of the station. The bike path is connected outside the station with the adjacent University of Ottawa Campus site.
Passengers exiting from the station at street level can turn left to walk over the Lees Avenue overpass of Highway 417 to reach Sandy Hill or turn right to reach the apartment buildings and the residential neighbourhood west of the station.
Track & Platform Configuration
Both tracks are at the centre of the station with 120 metre platforms on the outsides. Provision is made to allow their extension to 150 metres when ridership volumes warrant.
Descent / Ascent
Trains will be accessed one level below grade, approximately 7 metres down. Passengers may descend and ascend via stairs or elevators.
Future Consideration
The area to the west of the station is slated for future residential and mixed use development by private developers and, to the southwest by the University of Ottawa.
