MOOSE + UOttawa: Prince of Wales Bridge & Start-Up Station Design
OTTAWA REGION, ONTARIO and THE OUTAOUAIS, QUÉBEC — 17 OCTOBER 2018 (Media Release below)
A team of six civil engineering students from University of Ottawa will invest much of their 2018/19 academic year advancing MOOSE Consortium’s plan to adapt the Prince of Wales Bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau. Their student project design will accommodate combined operations of full-sized bi-level regional trains and smaller LRT trains, respecting federal regulatory and safety management conditions. It will include cantilevered cycling and pedestrian trails, a pedestrian bridge over the tracks on the Lemieux Island, and iconic views of Parliament Hill.
A second engineering student team project will advance the plan for the rapid design and deployment of the innovative modular start-up station “kit” that MOOSE would lease to independent station franchisees. Where existing tracks are in service, this concept would enable property investors to commence train service at low cost within just months of obtaining basic permits. This will provide developers and municipalities the time required within each unique locality to undertake all the public consultation, negotiation and planning that permanent stations and surrounding facilities require.

EN – October 2018 – Inside Ottawa Valley– Both Candidates in Smiths Falls Mayoralty Race Support Regional Rail
Question: How would you pledge town resources to a proposed commuter rail line, like Go Transit in the Greater Toronto Area, brought up by a mayoral candidate in Ottawa?
Pankow: Via Rail has a major expansion plan in front of the minister of transportation. We expect an answer by the end of this year. It’s a $3.5 billion investment from the federal government that would enable Via to expand service in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, which would mean improved service from Smiths Falls to Ottawa and Brockville. It’s a strong initiative and has a lot of merit. Secondly, the Moose initiative – a regional transit system that would be spoking out from Ottawa into Gatineau and into the Ottawa Valley. They are working with the City of Ottawa and the federal government. I would be surprised if we don’t see some enhanced rail service over the next four years.
Gallipeau: Since I’ve been on council for four years, I’ve been an advocate of getting a rail service to Ottawa from Smiths Falls to at least multiple times a day. It would allow students and workers a way to get back and forth with ease. The future of our community depends on efficient transportation – we all know our roads aren’t that great. We don’t have four lane highways like Carleton Place. We do have rails

- The 8 September 2017 letter sent by John Manconi, General Manager of the Transportation Services Department to the Mayor and Members of Council and Transit Commissioners.
1. A Coordinated and Consultative Approach
2. Service through Bayview Station on the O-Train Trillium Line
(a) take possession of, use or occupy any land belonging to any other railway company;
(b) use the whole or any portion of the right-of-way, tracks, terminals, stations or station grounds of any other railway company; and
(c) run and operate its trains over and on any portion of the railway of any other railway company.
(2) The Agency may grant the right and may make any order and impose any conditions on either railway company respecting the exercise or restriction of the rights as appear just or desirable to the Agency, having regard to the public interest.
(3) The railway company shall pay compensation to the other railway company for the right granted and, if they do not agree on the compensation, the Agency may, by order, fix the amount to be paid.
The 8 September letter to the Agency states that:
3. Passage of Trains at Bayview Station
Full-sized trains had been passing for more than a century through the Bayview Station sector, under the existing bridges, via the original track which was built in 1878 during the second term of John A. Macdonald. As recently as 2001 the new ballast for the new O-Train track enhancements was carried by freight train from Quebec across the Prince of Wales Bridge, traversing under the Albert Street and other bridges. Here are a couple of photos:
- http://churcher.crcml.org/circ
le/POWbridge02.jpg - (Albert Street is in the backround)
- http://churcher.crcml.org/circ
le/POWbridge01.jpg - (Southbound train on Prince of Wales Bridge on July 26, 2001
The 8 September 2017 memo to Mayor and Council states that « staff have had a design prepared for the future alignment of the track extension from Bayview Station to the south end of the Prince of Wales Bridge », acknowledging that « the original main north-south line is obstructed by the ground level of the new station building at Bayview Station ». But Mr. Manconi’s suggested design which would send all trains to the track east of the station is physically unworkable without major changes to the brand new station. The problem is that the Bayview spur used as the terminus of the O-Train was constructed with a grade, so that the distance between the top of the track and bottom of the Albert Street and OLRT bridges is significantly less than the 22 feet required in Transport Canada’s « Standards Respecting Railway Clearances » (diagram 2, page 6). That’s to say, due to the City’s design decisions, typical North American style passenger or freight trains cannot get through, meaning that trains such as used for the GO-Train in Toronto or AMT in Montreal cannot service the new Bayview Station. Up until summer 2016, such equipment was easily accommodated on the original track.
4. Prince of Wales Bridge Rehabilitation
Mr. Manconi’s memo to Mayor and Council refers to « Long-Term Plans », explaining that:
