Millennium Station is a current rapid-transit bus-stop and a future OC Transpo Transitway Station located in the Orleans, Ontario area of Ottawa, Canada, just south of the intersection of Innes Road and Trim Road. It is starting in September 2007, the eastern terminus of most Route 94 trips. According to the OC Transpo system map, it will also serves in the future of a modified Express Route 22 which currently ends on Valin Street northwest of Millennium Station.[1] It is also located just southeast of École secondaire Béatrice-Desloges in which is served by school routes 636 and 695 and south of École Secondaire Gisèle-Lalonde which is served by routes 607, 610, 611, 630, 632 and 643.[2]
The Millennium stop started to appear in the OC Transpo official route network map for their 2007-2008 schedule that is in effects starting on September 2, 2007. The stop itself as expected to the eastern terminus of a future Transitway segment that would connect by 2013 Blair Station to Millennium. The Ottawa 2020 Transportation Master Plan has also plans to convert by 2021 the bus rapid transit segment into a future east-west light-rail route from Kanata to Orleans via Bells Corners, Nepean Centre, South Keys and Greenboro with a connection to the existent north-south O-Train Line that runs from Greenboro to Bayview stations with plans to extend south and north towards Leitrim/Riverside South and Downtown respectively although without serving Barrhaven South due to the canceled extension plan of the original north-south line project in December 2006.[3]
In addition, the City of Ottawa has approved in conjunction of the new service, the construction of a new park and ride facility slated for completion by 2009.[4]
