Long-term vision for the 26 Avenue S.E. station
This station has been identified for transit oriented development (TOD). It is ideally located to become a southern anchor for a future main street along 11 Street S.E. The City-owned lands to the west have spectacular views of the downtown and the mountains that offer additional opportunities for future TOD.
The 26 Avenue S.E. station provides additional ways to access:
- civic services
- community amenities
- and jobs in the area
It is within walking or cycling distance of Calgary Police Services, Animal and Bylaw Services, the Water Services Centre and a variety of businesses that are in the area. This provides employees with an additional way to get to and from work.
The Historic East Calgary Area Redevelopment Plan will help guide redevelopment within the communities of Inglewood and Ramsay. Over time, the area around this station will redevelop with new shopping, living and working opportunities. This will bring new residents who wish to live and work in the area.
