If I'm reading the map correctly, it looks like it will be above ground across the Elbow River into Inglewood. The transition into/out of the tunnel will be somewhere around where the bus barns are now in Victoria Park and all stations through downtown up to 16th will be underground. I believe the plan is for the train to resurface around 24th Ave N, but that will be left for Phase 2.

Based on that, it looks like the 4th St station (by the new arena) will be underground. That's likely subject to change with the building design, but it's a good way to get some of the building's construction costs covered with the C-Train construction if there's a station with direct access to the arena.
