The station will be at-grade, parallel to the existing freight railway tracks, and will have a bus loop. The station is expected to stimulate growth of the industrial park, because of increased transit connections for workers. The area has been identified by the City of Calgary to potentially become a generator for new commercial and high tech incubator development.[2]
