Cyrville is a station on the Confederation Line (Line 1) of Ottawa's O-Train light metro system, located at Cyrville Road (an arterial road serving several industrial areas) and near the Queensway.
History
[edit]Cyrville opened in 1990 as a Transitway infill station between St-Laurent and Blair.[2] It closed on June 28, 2015 to make way for the Confederation Line construction.[3] It reopened on September 14, 2019, when the Confederation Line service began.
Location
[edit]Retail stores near Cyrville station include the Desjardins credit union,[4] Value Village and CANEX. This station serves very few riders however the limited adjacent empty lands may have development potential. Currently there are condominiums by Richcraft Homes, Brownstones at Place des Gouverneurs, which has four condominium towers built just north of the station. Richcraft Homes has added four matching apartment buildings, making these some of the closest homes to the LRT line east of downtown Ottawa.
Layout
[edit]The station is an island platform station located at grade underneath the Cyrville Road overpass. Station entrances are located on either side of Cyrville Road; the northeastern entrance includes a ticket barrier, while the ticket barrier serving the southwestern entrance is located at platform level. Both accesses are wheelchair accessible as they are supplied with elevators.
The station's artwork, Stand of Birch by Don Maynard, is a cluster of sculptures representing birch trees, located beyond the northeastern end of the station platform.[5]
