OC Transpo and the City of Ottawa and consulting the public to name the new Stage 2 stations.

http://www.octranspo.com/en/our-serv...-station-names

They've also released a few new renderings.

Place d'Orléans, a suburban station in east end Ottawa. It will be built in a highway median (174). One entrance is at Champlain (entrance nearest you in the first image), and the second plugs into an existing pedestrian overpass (the red overpass). A second overpass (the white one) will be added as a fare-paid-zone between the existing Transitway bus station and the new O-Train station.

Jeanne d'Arc, two stations west of Place, in the suburban highway median (174). Entrances will be on both sides of Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard. Currently, the area is served by bus stops on the on/off ramps.

Westboro, an urban station just west of Downtown Ottawa. Currently a Transitway station (one of the originals), it will be converted to rail. Half a dozen towers are proposed or U/C across the street. Just to the north-east is the city's second tallest residential tower (tallest from 2004-2019), Minto Metropole.

Kìchì Sìbì (formerly Dominion Station), one stop west of Westboro Station. Currently a glorified bus station served by two bus shelters. This station will become a proper rapid transit station near the centre of Westboro Village, Westboro beach and and the Kitchissippi Lookout. This "station" was originally an infill stop along the Transitway added in 1999.

Pinecrest, serving an inner-city suburban community. Another Transitway infill station that's really just a bus stop at the moment, opened in 2009.
