Blair Station (OC Transpo)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blair Station is a station on Ottawa's transitway located at Blair Road and Regional Road 174. It is the eastern terminal for Route 101 during peak periods (it's extended to/from Orleans Station outside of peak hours) and crosstown route 2. Route 94 also joins the transitway at this station coming from Blair Road. It is also a major transfer point for commuters within urban Gloucester.

This station is adjecent to the Gloucester Centre shopping complex, and nearby the Silver City Gloucester mega-movie theatre, a small bank, and other major retail stores. Shoppers City East located across Blair Road contains also several other major stores such as Canadian Tire. A long pedestrian overpass for the Queensway provides access to office complexes, a small park and ride parking lot, and the Pineview residential area

This is the last station in the grade separated eastern leg of the transitway; buses use exclusive shoulder lanes on the Queensway beyond this point towards Orleans. There are no plans to move the transitway onto its own right-of-way beyond this point.
