Muttart Urban District – First Phase of Development
Stadium LRT Station: After 40 years of welcoming sports and music fans to events at Commonwealth Stadium, the Stadium Transit station is being redeveloped as a bright, open, and modern facility for future visitors and residents. There will be new connections to the multi-use trails on both sides of the Capital Line LRT track, bike parking, added pedestrian track crossings and enhanced lighting. The station will include street-level barrier-free access at the end of each platform, and an additional access point to the southbound platform connecting the pathway between the station and commonwealth stadium. There will be heated areas on each platform and at the Stadium Transit Centre for busses for year round use. The biggest change will be the removal of the underground concourse bringing access to the station at street level.

Catherine Street in Montreal . The stylish parks feature unique mounded planting beds with curved benches, illuminated perforated bollards and pedestrian scale lighting.

Multi-use trails along the River Valley connect to the urban parks and site through Kinnaird Ravine and Dawson Park, with a new multi-use trail being built along the Capital LRT line to Downtown.
