This station replaces the former centre-loading platform and relocated one block to the west. Initially, the name of this new dual side-loading platform was to be just ''11 Street SW.'' However, Calgary City Hall changed the name to its present form because of the history of the Kerby family name in this location and the proximity to the Kerby Centre (a major social services centre primarily for seniors). The only other two-platform station in downtown is the station at the eastern end of the 7 Avenue SW transit mall. As part of the Calgary Transit Seventh Avenue refurbishment project Downtown West-Kerby has been built to accommodate 4-car consists.

This station serves mainly the Downtown West End community, both residential and businesses.
