Hurdman Station (OC Transpo)

Hurdman Transitway Station is a station on Ottawa, Canada's busway known as the transitway. Hurdman is one of the more busier stations, perhaps the busiest as it is the main hub for the tranistway network. Hurdman is where the main transitway route from the west branches off in two directions: One to the east towards Orleans and the other towards South Ottawa. The station is located just southeast of Hurdman Bridge where the Queensway crosses the Rideau River. There are connections from Hurdman to the near-by neighbourhood of Riverview to the east with a bus-only road connecting to Alta Vista Drive. There are also connections for bicycle users, as Hurdman is located very closely to the Rideau River bicycle path. The station, as well as the nearby landmarks of Hurdman Park, Hurdman Street and Hurdman Bridge are all named for the early settlers of the region. Located on site, which is rare for a Transitway station is a small store. Hurdman is also one of the most isolated stations, with only a few apartment buildings near-by, and being nearly completely surrounded by tall grass meadows.
