Carlingwood

Carlingwood is a neighbourhood in Bay Ward in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The neighbourhood is roughly bounded on the north by Richmond Road, on the east by Sherbourne Road, on the south by Carling Avenue and on the west by Woodroffe Avenue. This area corresponds to census tract 5050032.01, which had a population of 3,558 according to the Canada 2016 Census.The Carlingwood Shopping Centre was built in 1956 at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. The surrounding neighbourhood would be built later in the decade. Somserset Towers and the Saville Apartments (then known as Saville Terrace) were built in the early 1960s, and Bromley Square was built in the early 1970s. Carlingwood is home to two parks, Westwood and Woodroffe, the latter of which has a playsructure, wading pool, and temporary hockey rink (in winter). Byron Linear Tramway Park is located nearby. It is also home of Woodroffe Avenue Public School, Our Lady of Fatima School and the Ottawa Public Library Carlingwood Branch. Churches in Carlingwood include Our Lady of Fatima Catholic, Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral Assumption Of The Blessed Virgin, Woodroffe United, St. Martin's Anglican, and Bromley Road Baptist. During the summer, Shouldice Berry Farms operates a stand at the corner of Byron and Woodroffe. Carlingwood is also the home to the soon-to-come Sherbourne station in the Ottawa Confederation Line West Extension, to come in 2025.OC Transpo routes 51, 11, 85, and 87 pass through it or on a nearby major road.

Byron Linear Tramway Park
Byron Linear Tramway Park

Byron Linear Tramway Park is a municipal park in Kitchissippi Ward and Bay Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The park forms a narrow strip of park land that runs westward from Holland Avenue to Richardson Avenue in Woodpark, with the exception of Westboro Village (between Churchill and Golden Avenues). Running through the entirety of the park is a path through grass and trees. The park forms a narrow 2.5 km strip, but has a width varies between 5 and 15 metres. Much of the park was once a railway right-of-way. The western section of the park forms the southern edge of Richmond Road and forms the complete area between Richmond road and Byron Avenue. Its path is winding and mostly tree lined. Seats and bus shelters exist in most city blocks. Parking is allowed along the section of Byron avenue from Golden west to Woodroffe Avenue, but not on other sections. The eastern section forms the north side of Byron Avenue, but does not extend to Richmond Road. This section is also approximately 2.5 km long, but narrower in width. A War Memorial, commemorating the dead of Westboro, is on the Strip, visible from Richmond road, near Golden. The park is colloquially known as the "Byron Strip". The City of Ottawa is currently building a cut-and-cover subway tunnel along a 1.3 km stretch between Cleary and Richardson avenues as part of the western extension of the Confederation O-Train Line. This stretch will include two open trench stations at Sherbourne and New Orchard.

Dominion station
Dominion station

Dominion is a station on the transitway in Ottawa, Ontario. It is located north of the western edge of Westboro village, where the below-grade transitway segment joins the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. The station is named after nearby Dominion Avenue. Opened on 29 November 1999 as an intermediate station between the long-established Lincoln Fields and Westboro stations, Dominion Station consists of two bus shelters and a grade level crosswalk rather than a true station with platforms. It has no connections to local routes but is actually very close (225m) to the commercial strip on Richmond Road in Westboro village and Westboro Beach. It serves a primarily residential neighbourhood which previously had only Frequent Route 11 service on Richmond Road for regular transit service. The Académie de Formation Linguistique building at 495 Richmond Road (the former Denis Coolican Building, originally operated by the City of Ottawa) is also served by this station.This stop is also used frequently by cyclists as there are two bike pathways – one on each side of the parkway – which is part of a large network of cycling paths in the city. During the summer months, the westbound stop is closed from 9:00AM to 1:00PM on Sundays due to the Alcatel Sunday Bike events, when the Parkway is closed westbound while cyclists use the roadway. Buses travel on Richmond Road, Woodroffe Avenue and Carling Avenue instead. During the detour, a bus stop at the corner of Richmond Road and Golden Avenue is used in lieu of the regular stop at Dominion Station. Eastbound service is not affected by the detour. Plans to extend the Confederation Line west to Lincoln Fields and Bayshore Shopping Centre would include construction of a proper, complete rapid transit station for Dominion. The City proposed changing the name of the station to Kìchì Sìbì to better associate it with the Kitchissippi Lookout on nearby Westboro beach upon inclusion in the Confederation Line Stage 2 expansion. The name, along with the rest of the Stage 2 station names were open to public review until August 26, 2020.
