Bridgeland/Memorial is a stop on the Northeast Line (Route 202) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta. It opened on April 27, 1985 as part of the original Northeast line. The station is located in the centre of Memorial Drive Northeast, 1.4 km from the City Hall Interlocking. A pedestrian overpass connects the station to both sides of Memorial Drive and stairs and escalators, as well as an elevator provide access down to the center-loading platfrom. The station serves St. Patrick's Island, which is only a short walk away, as is the Calgary Zoo, although it is also accessible via the Zoo station of the system.
In 2004 and 2005 the station underwent upgrading and renovations to improve safety and access for visually impaired users wishing to access the nearby CNIB facility, and also in preparation for increased usage as work on The Bridges - a major inner city redevelopment project on the north side of the station - progresses. The station was closed for a couple of weeks in the Summer of 2004 due to the construction.
In 2005, the station registered an average transit of 1,300 boardings per weekday.[1]
