The station will have a park-and-ride lot.[3] When Eden Prairie approved construction of the station in 2014, the city requested a trail extending from the station to Shady Oak Road.[4]
The City West station is near Optum's corporate campus which is expected to eventually have 6,500 jobs.[3] United Health Group, of which Optum is a subsidiary, donated land for the station.[5]
