City West station is one of four light rail stations planned in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, on the Southwest LRT extension of the Green Line. ^[2] The City West Station will be near the corporate campus for Optum, and the station is positioned west of U.S. Route 212 and south of Minnesota State Highway 62.

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]
