About the station

This station will be in the heart of the city’s downtown. It will connect to key destinations, community amenities, educational and employment hubs.

It will be the busiest station along the Green Line as a result of being a key transfer station and its proximity to the high number of housing and jobs.

This station allows transit riders to transfer easily between the Green Line and existing Red and Blue LRT Lines, MAX Yellow and MAX Purple bus services. People can also easily connect with the downtown cycle track network and regional pathways.

Long-term vision

As part of Calgary's Greater Downtown PlanThe City is investing in transforming downtown towards a more balanced mix of residential, office, retail, entertainment, tourism and culture. The Green Line is an important component of this, as it will expand and enhance transit service downtown. There is also potential for new public spaces along the Green Line as part of the Public Garden Initiative.
