Iris station is one of the few grade-level stations on the Southwest Transitway. It is located on Iris Street, a collector road in western 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,[2] has no trip generators apart from residential commuters in the area, and does not have any major routes connecting at the station.[3]

Original bus shelter in 2007 prior to Stage 2 construction.

Iris station is being converted to a light rail station as a part of Stage 2 of O-Train Line 1. 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 and re-entering the Transitway at this station.[5]
