Sunnyside is a stop on the Northwest Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta.

The station serves the Sunnyside and Hillhurst neighbourhoods of Calgary, as well as the Kensington shopping district, and is a short walk from Riley Park.

History

The station, and the section of the line running through it, is the most controversial in the C-Train system. When the Northwest Line was being planned, community residents organized to keep this station from being built as it required the demolition of many homes and the major disruption of 9A Street N.W. (a number of homes and apartment blocks which were not demolished were left with no front street access). The city pushed ahead with its plans by purchasing most of the properties along 9A Street. Eventually, as the area became accustomed to the C-Train, the properties were sold off to private interests.

Ridership

Opened in 1987, the station registered an average of 5,700 daily boardings in 2005.Cite web|url=http://www.calgarytransit.com/html/lrt_ridership.html| title= LRT Station Ridership| author= Calgary Transit| authorlink= Calgary Transit| year=2005| accessdate=2007-08-24]
