McKernan/Belgravia (ETS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McKernan/Belgravia Station is an LRT station under construction as part of the Edmonton Transit System's South LRT Expansion Project.^[1]. The station, located between the Health Sciences Station and the South Campus Station, will provide service to the residents of the neighborhoods of Belgravia and McKernan. The station is on the northwest corner of the intersection of 76 Avenue and 114 Street, and immediately across 114 Street from McKernan Elementary-Junior High School. A pedestrain underpass, included as part of the station design, will allow passengers and other pedestrian traffic to easily cross 114 Street.

Originally, the station was to be called the 76 Avenue Station, but the name was changed to McKernan/Belgravia in October 2006.

Both McKernan/Belgravia and South Campus Stations are expected to open in 2008.

[edit] Notes

1. ^ When complete, the South LRT Expansion project will add approximately 7.5 km of track and five LRT stations, including the now complete Health Sciences Station. All of these stations are located in the city of Edmonton's south side.
