Location
Retail stores near Cyrville station include the Desjardins credit union, Value Village and CANEX. This station serves very few riders however the limited adjacent empty lands may have development potential. Currently there are condominiums by Richcraft Homes, Brownstones at Place des Gouverneurs, which has four condominium towers built just north of the station. Richcraft Homes has added four matching apartment buildings, making these some of the closest homes to the LRT line east of downtown Ottawa.
