Comment: Rail line extensions typically do not get their own articles, particularly if the extension on its own is not notable (enough). It would be better to add this information to the main Blue Line article. Gorden 2211 (talk) 06:36, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
The CTrain Blue Line North Extension to Redstone[1][2][3][4] is a planned and approved light rail extension to Stoney Trail, Balzac, or Stonegate. It will extend the CTrain Blue Line further north, starting from Saddletowne Station in the community of Saddleridge 4 stops to Stoney Trail Station in the community of Redstone. It will serve the communities of Cityscape, Skyview Ranch, Cornerstone, Redstone, YYC, Stoney, and Stonegate.

88th Avenue N station is a future planned and approved light rail station in Calgary, Alberta. It would connect the CTrain to the community of Saddleridge and would be a transfer to the future Airport Spur line[5]. It would be located at the intersection of 88th Avenue N & 60 Street NE. It would also be just south of the commercial area titled "Savanna".
The station would most likely be a two-track station with ramps leading down to 88th Avenue with another ramp north/south of the station and have a track switch north of the station. It could also have a third track instead of a track switch, but that is very unlikely. It would also be the terminus of the Airport Line.[6]
