22nd Street station is located on an elevated portion of the SkyTrain rapid transit system serving Metro Vancouver. The station opened in 1985 as part of the original Expo Line.
The station is located on 7th Ave between 21 St and 22 St in the western end of New Westminster, an area of low-density residential neighbourhoods. The main functionality of this station, however, is to connect passengers to regional bus routes as it is located close to a major crossroads of the region, where the Queensborough Bridge meets Marine Way and Stewardson Way.
As the station is located on a hill above the Queensborough interchange, it has expansive view of Fraser River and Mount Baker on a clear day.
SkyTrain's operation and maintenance centre is located northwest of this station.
22nd Street station is served by a single entrance facing west. The entrance, along with the bus loop that surrounds the station house, is at a level slightly below 7th Avenue, and is connected to the street through ramp and stairs. An up escalator is provided for the westbound (inbound) platform only; passengers accessing the eastbound (outbound) platform must climb up a full flight of stairs.
22nd Street Station offers an off-street transit exchange with on-street stops for HandyDart and bus drop-offs eastbound on 7th Avenue. Bus bay assignment is as follows:
