History
The original 1 Street W station opened on May 25, 1981, as part of Calgary's first LRT line from 8 Street W to Anderson and was located between 1 Street and 2 Street SW (across from the Scotia Center). On October 28, 2005, a new four-car platform for the 1 Street Southwest stop was finished. The platform moved to a new location between 1 Street and Centre Street, one block east of its old location. This was the first station to be refurbished as part of the 7 Avenue Refurbishment Project.August 2023
All of the 7 Avenue Refurbished Stations that followed in 2005 - 2012 use the same basic design as Centre Street where the entire sidewalk slopes up to platform level. The canopy design at Centre Street is slightly different from the newer stations constructed in 2005 and onwards.August 2023
The Telus Convention Centre, Glenbow Museum, and the Calgary Tower are located near these platforms, as are skyscrapers such as the Suncor Energy Centre, Scotia Centre and Bow Valley Square.August 2023
On March 22, 2023, as part of an attempt to deal with crime along the C-Train system, 1st Street SW Station, along with every other station between City Hall and Downtown West-Kerby Stations would have the lighting and cameras upgraded.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYLn6KePmwk Lighting upgrades at Calgary CTrain platforms 6 August 2023 YouTubecalgarytransit 1638601978996568064 #CTRiders, we’ve recently upgraded the lighting on all CTrain platforms from Downtown West/Kerby to City Hall August 2023
