The proposed changes will redistribute service from routes/corridors that can no longer support the current level of service economically. These changes are not final and will take effect in spring or summer of 2024, shortly after O-Train Line 2 opens.

A significant amount of service is proposed to be reoriented east to Limebank Station to connect with future Line 2 services which connects to South Keys, Carleton, Dow's Lake, and Bayview, plus downtown and uOttawa by changing trains at Bayview Station.

Most notably, routes 270, 271, 272, 273, and 278 will be cancelled and replaced with all-day, bidirectional service to other hubs.

Both Councillor Lo and Councillor Hill are taking a whole-of-Barrhaven approach to these changes. A few gaps have been identified by residents and by our offices so far, and we will be working with OC Transpo to resolve them before the changes take effect in the spring or summer of 2024, including:

• A lack of daytime service west of Woodroffe, north of Longfields (including at Saint Mother Teresa High School)

• Poor connections to Baseline Station/Algonquin College

• No connection between communities in Old Barrhaven and Marketplace, and

• The likely need to retain some express services to Tunney’s Pasture until Line 1 opens at Baseline Station

Please note school services are separate from the review package, as they are designed in consultation with the school board and OSTA.
