Tuscany/Rocky Ridge will become the northern terminus of the Northwest Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta once the extension of Route 201 is completed in 2011.

The station, originally planned for completion past 2023, was approved and funded by Calgary City Council on November 7, 2007 for completion by 2011. [ [http://publicaccess.calgary.ca/lldm01/livelink.exe?func=ccpa.general&msgID=IeqqTregrD&msgAction=download Minutes of Calgary City Council special meeting of 06 November 2007] ] The station had been included as part of Mayor Dave Bronconnier's re-election platform during the 2007 Municipal Elections.

The station will be located in the median of Crowchild Trail, to the west of Rocky Ridge Road, and will be adjacent to the communities of Tuscany to the south, and Rocky Ridge to the north. The station is currently the final station planned for the Northwest leg of the CTrain and will be located approximately 2 kilometers east of the city limits.

The station is expected to have a small Park and Ride lot, located to the north of the station on the corner of Rocky Ridge Road and Crowchild Trail. The size of the lot, and details on the design of the station have not yet been determined as of December 2007.
