Project Description

Lake City Way Station was the second to last station to be completed (aside from VCC which opened in 2006). The all steel structure creates a striking form when viewed from the Lougheed Highway nearby.

The trusses that form the sloped, pointed roof over the platform are constructed from round HSS tube members.
