The City Hall CTrain Station and the 3 St. SE CTrain Station will be closed starting May 3, 2010 as part of the 7 Avenue LRT refurbishment project.Two new “twinned” CTrain platforms will be constructed on both sides of the block between Macleod Trail and 3 St SE. They are scheduled to open by June 2011.
The 3 Street SE CTrain Station will close permanently.
The new platforms will accommodate future four-car trains and will be more pedestrian friendly, with wider sidewalks integrated directly into each platform, improved lighting, and enhanced streetscapes between stations.
Calgary Transit customers are advised to use Olympic Plaza and Centre Street CTrain stations until the new platforms open for service.

Thanks for the month's advance warning. Great to see the last stations soon to be upgraded. Any idea of the timeline for when Centre Street will get its extension added?
ReplyDeleteCentre Street Station is a completed station that was reconstructed to accommodate four-car trains in future.
ReplyDeleteCentre Street was not constructed to accommodate four LRVs. It will require expansion as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, thats what I meant by extension being added (as I know the station was only built to roughly 80m when it was constructed instead of the ~105m required).
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to clarify the issue. I spoke to our Transportation Infrastructure team and they let me know that Centre Street Station WILL indeed need to be extended. Impact to commuters is expected to be fairly minimal as the station will not need to be closed to complete this extension.
