Rundle station
Rundle Station is a Calgary C-Train light rail station in the Northeast community of Rundle. It is the sixth station northeast of City Hall on the Blue Line, with Marlborough Station sitting in the southbound direction, and Whitehorn Station sitting in the northbound direction. The station opened on April 27, 1985, as part of the original Northeast Route 202 Line.
The station is located in the median of 36 Street NE, to the north of the intersection of 20 Avenue NE/Rundlehorn Drive, right in front of Sunridge Mall. The station is 8.4 km from the City Hall Interlocking. Pedestrian overpasses connect the station to both sides of 36 Street NE. Stairs, escalators, as well as an elevator provide access down to the station platform.
The station serves the community of Rundle to the east and Sunridge Mall to the west, with 350 parking spaces are included across the station premises (not including the parking on the premises of Sunridge Mall).
In 2005, the station registered and average transit of 11,600 boardings per weekday.
On January 20, 1993, a 4-year-old child, Michael MacIntosh, got his jacket sleeve stuck at the bottom of the escalator after straying from his family. Bystanders helped him stay conscious until paramedics arrived and free his injured left arm, this was later seen on Rescue 911 on May 4, 1993, on CBS. Whilst the incident happened at Rundle Station, the Rescue 911 episode was actually filmed at Bridgeland/Memorial Station for the station had better lighting at the time.
The station has seen minor criticism from transit advocates due to the name not being properly reflective of the area. Advocates have argued that it should reflect the Sunridge Commercial Area and that the station should be renamed to Sunridge/Rundle Station and other variations of that. It has been argued that the name is outdated and 'from a time before Sunridge was as prominent as it is today', and that is reflected with bus routes such as the 19 - Dalhousie Station / Sunridge or 32 - Huntington / Sunridge which use the name 'Sunridge' when referring to Rundle Station.
Rundle Station was one of multiple areas of Calgary featured in a 2016 VICE News documentary about the North American opioid crisis, which goes into detail about how much the province of Alberta has been affected by fentanyl.
