To facilitate the rebuilding of Southgate Transit Centre to
incorporate a new LRT station, ETS had to operate out of a temporary transit
centre located a few blocks North of 51 Ave for approximately a 1 year period
until all of the concrete work was done.
This transit centre featured 4 lanes, a portable washroom for the operators, and
2 modular shelters which would be relocated to Southgate when the temporary
transit centre closed, and once the new Southgate building opened, the modular
shelters were moved to Jasper Place to become the new shelter to replaced the
original shelter.
Following the move back to Southgate, the temporary transit centre was utilized
as a lay down yard for SLRT construction, in particular for EPCOR crews working
on the electrification portion.
