45 Street SW[1] is the fourth station of the West LRT line (Route 202 extension) of the CTrain light rail system in Calgary, Alberta. It opened for revenue service on December 10, 2012.[2][3][4] On December 8, 2012, a preview of the West Line was provided.[5]

The station is located in a trench on the north side of 17 Avenue SW and west of 45 Street SW, 5.3 km West of the 7 Avenue & 9 Street SW Interlocking.[6] No park & ride is provided and the station is a walk-on only with passengers arriving by Calgary Transit buses, cycling, walking or by vehicle drop off. The platforms are side-loading with grade-level access at the west end and stairs and ramps at the east end. The station serves the neighborhoods of Glendale, Rosscarrock, Westgate and Glenbrook.[7] It is located immediately adjacent to the Calgary main office of the Alberta Motor Association, as well as a district Calgary Police Service station.

45 Street along with 69 Street are the first trenched stations to be built in Calgary.
