This article is about the station in Ottawa. For the station in San Diego, see [Iris Avenue Transit Center](/source/Iris_Avenue_Transit_Center).

**Iris station** is one of the few grade-level stations on the [Southwest Transitway](/source/Transitway_(Ottawa)#Southwest). It is located on Iris Street, a collector road in western [Ottawa](/source/Ottawa).[2][3]

It is both one of the smallest Transitway stations and one of the least used, likely because it is only 400 m (1/4 mi) south of [Queensway station](/source/Queensway_station_(OC_Transpo)),[2] has no trip generators apart from residential commuters in the area, and does not have any major routes connecting at the station.[3]

Iris station is being converted to a light rail station as a part of Stage 2 of [O-Train Line 1](/source/Line_1_(O-Train)). As a result of this, numerous significant changes and realignments are being made in the vicinity, including the installation of a new bridge on Iris Street and the relocation of the Pinecrest Creek.[4] In June 2022, the segment of Transitway between Iris station and Baseline station closed permanently, with buses currently detoured along [Woodroffe Avenue](/source/Woodroffe_Avenue) and re-entering the Transitway at this station.[5]
