Stations

Renderings of Green Line stations are labelled as 30% design or 60% design throughout the website. This label refers to a design concept called the 30-60-90 IFC Process, which facilitates the ongoing development of drawings that can be Issued For Construction (IFC).

• At 30%, major design elements, risks, the construction schedule and cost will be established. This forms the baseline for any project.
• At 60%, the design elements are explored in more detail, including the materials that will be used and an analysis of the constructability and cost effectiveness.
• At 90%, the design is fully developed with all plans and specifications, and compliance with codes and standards.
• Any comments or revisions from the 90%, once successfully implemented, can then be converted into an IFC set of drawings, allowing construction to begin.

Station features

• Ninety-metre platforms will provide ample boarding space for 2-car trains (84m long).
• Platforms are 31 cm high. 
• Platforms will be centre loading or side loading.
• Canopies at street-level stations will cover 25 per cent of the platform area, with additional glass passenger shelters for weather protection.
• Safety and security features will include heated shelters, glass walls for visibility and security, open spaces, plenty of lighting and CCTV cameras.
• Some stations will have plazas and spaces available for gatherings and special events.
• Pathways and the cycle network will connect to several stations.

Design features

• Station canopies are the design inspiration for all buildings and structures on the Green Line, which will all look and feel similar.
• Canopies are sleek and smooth, without hard, rigid angles.
• Canopies will have a degree of asymmetry and varying heights.
• Seating and platform shelters will be integrated into the canopies.
• Smaller items at the station such as benches, planters and waste containers will complement the canopy design.
