About South Hill Station
South Hill Station is near the community of Riverbend located between Glenmore Trail and 86 Avenue S.E. and connects to:
- Foothills Industrial area

The South Hill Station Area Concept Plan was approved by Council in 2016. The Transit-Oriented-Development lands include pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use development, with opportunities for larger scale development on the lands north and south of Glenmore Trail, and across the irrigation canal to the east.

60% Design Information
In November 2024 the Green Line team hosted information sessions along the southeast portion of the alignment. We shared the current 60% design for stations between Ramsay/Inglewood and Shepard, as well as plans for bridges and guideways.
At this level of design, key elements have been established and we were able to show Calgarians how these features will integrate within their communities.
What we shared about South Hill station:
- South Hill: 60% station design
- Canopies, platforms and station areas: At-grade station design
Public Spaces
With the primary access point of South Hill Station being the plaza space at the corner of 86 Avenue S.E. and the bus terminal, there is an opportunity for this area to be an anchor for the entire site, encouraging pedestrians to interact with the space.
Unique to South Hill Station is a storm water retention pond that backs onto the station platform and provides a natural setting for those using the station, while also providing storm water management.
Landscaping elements provide opportunities for art installations, which could be enjoyed while waiting at transit stops, riding the train or walking within the station.
