Talk:Tremblay station

Demerged
Further to JForget's suggestion below, I was bold and demerged this article and the article on the adjacent railway station. Also as mentioned below, the information on the actual train station, a designated heritage structure, was being lost amidst bus route information. The demerger is in keeping with the Toronto example, where Union Station (Toronto) and Union (TTC) are separate articles. It is also in keeping with what appears to be the convention for Ottawa transitway stations -- e.g. St. Laurent Station (OC Transpo) and St. Laurent Shopping Centre are separate articles, Tunney's Pasture Station (OC Transpo) and Tunney's Pasture are separate articles, etc. - Skeezix1000 11:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Overpass paragraph

 * The following discussion is reproduced from the talk page at Ottawa Train Station. Please do not modify it. It was moved here when the information on the the transitway station was moved to this article.  Additional comments, if any, can be made below this box.  

Not really sure how this paragraph on a proposed overpass, that might never get built, is relevant to the train station. Proximity does not equal relevance. Is the overpass intended to serve rail passengers? Is it intended to facilitate access to the train station? It's not clear. Even if it can be shown that the intended purpose is to provide easier access to the station, it's not evident that an overpass merits an entire paragraph (if it merits mention at all) in the article.

I've put that paragraph since it is the article about both the Transit Station and the Train Station. The Master Plan says :"Provides enhanced transit accessibility to the stadium (Lynx) and adjacent employment area". That paragraph was put related to the Transitway Station.

This is two distinct things, I'm wondering if de-merging the article would be better, so we would the Transit stop in a separate article --JForget 02:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * If the purpose of the overpass is to facilitate transit access, then that's fine, but it should be made clear in the paragraph. Right now, the paragraph simply refers to a pedestrian overpass, the purpose of which is unclear.  It isn't even clear from the current wording that the overpass would be accessible from the train station.  As for demerging the article, yes I agree.  The information on the train station building is slowly being lost in the morass of trivial bus route data.  Skeezix1000 11:22, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Demerger done (see below). Any further discussion on the overpass should continue at the article on the transitway station, and I have reproduced this discussion on the talk page at that location. Skeezix1000 11:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I would just add: given that it is just an overpass, that overpasses over the Queensway are not uncommon, and that it may never be built, a simple sentence for the proposal, with a footnote for the reference, would likely more than suffice. Skeezix1000 11:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I've cut also that paragraph to about three lines, limiting just to the general proposal of the project and the possible (or should I say IMO likely) scrapping of the project with the departure of the Ottawa Lynx in 2007. --JForget 20:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
