History
Opened1982[9]

The Lakewood Transit Centre, opened in 1982,[9] is located at the South-West side of the neighborhood on Mill Woods Road and 28 avenue. There are no amenities available at this transit centre (no park & ride, drop off areas, washrooms, vending machines, etc...).[10]

Approximately $1.4 million in upgrades to the transit centre were completed in 2017 with $689 thousand in funding provided by the federal government and $344.5 thousand in funding provided by the provincial government.[9]

Following the April 25, 2021 bus network redesign, it is no longer indicated as a transit centre on ETS maps. It is, however, still served by ETS bus routes. The following bus routes serve the transit centre:[11]
