The Mill Woods Transit Centre is located on Hewes Way and 25 Avenue.
As a part of the Mill Woods Town Centre redevelopment plan, the transit centre was moved from its original location to a new location approximately {{convert|100|m|ft}} from the new LRT station site.{{cite web |url=https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/mill-woods-redevelopment-to-include-first-european-style-bus-terminal |title=Mill Woods redevelopment to include first European-style bus terminal |publisher=Edmonton Journal |date=16 March 2017 |last=Stolte |first=Elise |accessdate=18 March 2018}} Instead of a concrete island, typical of transit centres in Edmonton, the transit centre was planned to include a promenade with shops next to the bus stops.{{cite web |url=https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/elise-stolte-endless-dead-space-new-security-guard-isnt-going-to-change-soul-less-transit-centres |title=Elise Stolte: Edmonton's transit stations are dead, empty, soulless places.
