Westboro is a station on the transitway in Ottawa, Ontario. It is located in the Westboro neighbourhood, on Scott Street between Athlone and Tweedsmuir avenues.
The transitway in the area is in a below-grade 'trench' parallelling Scott Street. Each platform has an elevator and stairway to the ground level above; the two sides are connected by an enclosed pedestrian bridge, and the ground-level station area also has platforms for local buses.
It is within walking distance of the Minto Metropole, Ottawa's tallest residential building.
