Line 2 Terminus

Limebank is the terminal station on the Trillium Line in Ottawa, Ontario. The station is elevated with two side platforms and is located southwest of the intersection of Limebank and Earl Armstrong roads.[2][3] OC Transpo Rapid bus routes 74 and 99 connect to this station with revenue service which began January 6, 2025.[4]

This station serves the Riverside South community within an expansive area zoned for commercial and retail purposes. As with the Bayview terminus station, it features a public washroom. With the Line 2 expansion operational, OC Transpo Route 73 and OC Transpo Route 74 have be extended east from Nepean Woods station and Leikin station along Strandherd and Earl Armstrong, with a stop at Riverview station, before ending at Limebank station.[4] OC Transpo Route 99 has also been shortened with its eastern terminus being moved to Limebank station. Route 99 service east of Limebank station will be replaced by Line 2.

As of May 2023, under the City of Ottawa's Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the undeveloped-yet-protected transit corridor linking Limebank station with Riverview station and the park-and-ride to the west is slated to be used for a bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. Despite this, there were growing local calls to zone this corridor for a future Line 2 LRT extension in the next version TMP, which was due to be published in late 2023 or early 2024.[citation needed]
