Lake City Way Station was the last station to be completed (aside from VCC which is due to be complete in 2005). The all steel structure creates a striking form when viewed from the Lougheed Highway nearby.

Steel trusses form the framing for the angular roof structure, adapting well to the varied angles that comprise the sloped, pointing canopy.
