Eau Claire

Rendering of Eau Claire Station.

The information on this page reflects the previous Phase 1 project, which included an underground tunnel and stations in the downtown. On Oct. 10, 2024, The City and The Province announced a revised alignment would be developed for the downtown by The Province's external consultant, AECOM. Their report was shared with The City on December 13, 2024, and is available to view here.

Design work is not advancing on Eau Claire station at this time, and this page will be updated when more information is available.
