Millennium Station (OC Transpo)
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. Starting in September 2007, it is the eastern terminus of most Route 94 trips as well as Express Route 22 and local route 122 - the latter two routes serving the stop since 2009. It is also located just southeast of École secondaire Béatrice-Desloges 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.
The Millennium stop first appeared in the OC Transpo official route network map for their 2007-2008 schedule that is in effect starting on September 2, 2007. The stop itself as expected to be the eastern terminus of a future Transitway segment that would connect to Blair Station by 2013. The Ottawa 2020 Transportation Master Plan also has plans to convert the bus rapid transit segment to a future east-west by 2021 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.
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.

Famous quotes containing the words millennium and/or station:
“At the end of one millennium and nine centuries of Christianity, it remains an unshakable assumption of the law in all Christian countries and of the moral judgment of Christians everywhere that if a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
