O-Train Line 1/3 [ Stage 2 | East Extension | Blair to Trim] | U/C

Of those stations, it is the stations beyond Place d'Orleans that are excessive. However, that is in a future phase anyway, so they might as well just protect the corridor in case they are warranted in the future.

Between Blair and Place d'Orleans, the first recommendation is to add a station accessible from Jasmine Crescent to serve the Beacon Hill South community. The station for Montreal Road should be a little farther east as well, to be easily accessible from Canotek Road. Jeanne d'Arc is exactly where it should be (maximize access from all sides) and Orleans Boulevard, if built (debatable), is also where it should be to access from both sides.

Since the Champlain Street overpass will require replacement anyway if the rail stays in the median, it might be best to shift to the south side for Place d'Orleans and build under or on what is now the bus station (or somewhere more central to the site)?

In this section, all stations should have centre-loading platforms.
