Downtown West – Kerby is a CTrain free-fare zone station on the 7 Avenue transit-only corridor in Calgary, Alberta. Unlike all the other downtown stations, this gateway station is exclusively for Route 202 West LRT line, which opened for revenue service on December 10, 2012. The preview for the public occurred on December 8, 2012.
This station replaces the former centre-loading 10 Street SW platform and relocated one block to the west. Initially, the name of this new dual side-loading platform was to be just 11 Street SW. However, Calgary City Hall changed the name to its present form because of the history of the Kerby family name in this location and the proximity to the Kerby Centre (a major social services centre primarily for seniors). The only other two-platform station in downtown is the City Hall station at the eastern end of the 7 Avenue SW transit mall. As part of the Calgary Transit Seventh Avenue refurbishment project Downtown West-Kerby has been built to accommodate 4-car consists.
This station serves mainly the Downtown West End community, both residential and businesses.
