Belvedere (ETS)

Belvedere Station is a station on the LRT system (Route 201) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is operated by the Edmonton Transit System, and was one of the original five stations when the line opened on April 22, 1978. [The other four stations were Central Station, Churchill Station, Stadium Station and Coliseum Station.] At that time, Belvedere was the north east terminus of the line.

The station underwent significant upgrades--covered station, five car platform, and a grade separated pedestrian overpass--at a cost of $6.3 million, in 1998."http://www.edmonton.ca/transit/whats_new/LRT_Brochure_2004.pdf]

"Belvedere Station won two awards, the Masonry Contractors Association of Alberta Award of Excellence and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, Alberta Steel Design Award in the Architectural Category for Most Effective and Innovative Use of Structural Steel."

It is located near Fort Road and 129 Avenue, between Clareview Station and Coliseum Station. The station is named for the neighbourhood of Belvedere located just to the west.
