Location

St-Laurent is a station on the Confederation Line of Ottawa's O-Train, and on the system's bus network and is located at St. Laurent Boulevard and the Queensway.^[2]

Location

The station is integrated to its surroundings, with direct indoor pedestrian access to the St. Laurent Shopping Centre. It serves as a major hub for local east end bus routes and has a ticket sales and information office. In addition to serving the shopping centre, it serves numerous commercial and industrial areas in the area and is a major transfer point for east-end commuters, making it one of the busiest stations. An office building occupied in part by ING is also 200 metres west of the station.

History

Originally built as a Transitway station, its construction required the complete reconstruction of the St. Laurent Boulevard / Highway 417 interchange and the construction of a tunnel to allow the transitway to cross underneath the Queensway. Its construction was linked to the last major expansion of the shopping centre in 1987.

On June 28, 2015, the main Transitway platforms closed for Confederation Line construction. The station reopened on September 14, 2019, when Confederation Line service began.

Layout

The rail station has two side platforms and is the only underground station on the Confederation Line outside the downtown section between Lyon and Rideau stations. Ticket barriers are located on the platform level, preventing crossover between the platforms within the fare-paid zone.

Above the platform level, a concourse level provides access to the shopping centre. At ground level, a local bus terminus has been retained from the original Transitway station with minor adjustments and renovations.

The station's artwork consists of an untitled series of large murals by Andrew Morrow, depicting moments in Canadian history.^[3]
