Crowfoot Station Platform
Platform facing north (top) and facing south (bottom).

The station is located in the median of Crowchild Trail, 13 km (8.1 mi) Northwest of the 7 Avenue & 9 Street SW interlocking, to the west of Nose Hill Drive. Designed with a 1345 stall Park and Ride lot and pedestrian overpasses that connect the station directly to both the Scenic Acres community, as well as provide a link to Crowfoot Centre. Inside the station building, two escalators, a set of stairs, and an elevator provide access to the platform. The Crowfoot Station is unique in that the Western end of the platform wraps around the station building.[1]
