Bayview is an O-Train interchange station in Ottawa, Ontario, connecting the Confederation Line and Trillium Line.

History

Bayview station in 2005

The station was originally built as a infill station along the existing transitway corridor, with a pair of elevated bus platforms at the western end of Albert Street. Beneath it was the first O-Train station, the northern terminus of the Trillium Line, located on a stub-end track branching off from the railway line. Paved asphalt footpaths connected the two stops on opposite sides of the Transitway and the train platform.

On January 17, 2016, the transitway platforms closed for conversion to light rail, with all buses diverting via Albert Street. The station reopened on September 14, 2019 as an intermediate stop on the first phase of the Confederation Line, making Bayview an important rapid transit transfer point.

On September 16, 2017, the eastbound portion of Bayview Station was moved 300m south to facilitate the construction of the new O-Train Line 1 Bayview station.

During the reconstruction of the station, the original O-Train station was closed and a new platform constructed to the north, under the Line 1 station.

Location

The station, named for nearby Bayview Road, is close to Tom Brown Arena. It is intended as a catalyst for large redevelopment including condos, hotels and the city's tallest office tower at 801 Albert. Plans also exist for converting a 1940s warehouse into a film studio and build an attached 15 storey "innovation hub".

Layout

The Confederation Line station is an elevated side platform station. A ticket barrier at platform level on the south (eastbound) platform provides access to Albert Street. Under the station, a concourse connects the two platforms with the single Trillium Line platform, and also contains a ticket barrier giving access to a footpath connecting the built-up area south of the station with the greenspace to its north.

The station features two artworks: Cascades by Pierre Poussin, a set of two large sculptures located in the greenspace surrounding the station, and As the Crow Flies by Adrian Göllner, a linear sculpture running atop the barrier between the two tracks on the Confederation Line platform level.
