Bowesville is an under construction station on the Trillium Line in Ottawa, Ontario. It is being constructed as part of the Stage 2 O-Train expansion and is scheduled for completion in 2024. The station will consist of two side platforms and is located southeast of the intersection of Bowesville and Earl Armstrong roads.[1] The station will serve primarily as a connection point with the southern communities of Ottawa, including Greely, Manotick, and Metcalfe. Bowesville will initially open with 800 parking spaces in its Park and Ride lot, and will later expanded to 2000 spaces.[2] The station also includes a bus loop within a fare paid zone, as well as a building for staff facilities in the middle. No bus connections to Bowesville are currently planned, however. There is a covered bike shelter with capacity for 20 bikes by the main entrance to the station.
