As of 2020, the Tel Aviv Red Line light rail's maintenance depot is being constructed across the tracks from the Kiryat Aryeh railway station, as is a light rail station and a pedestrian tunnel which will allow passengers to transfer between the heavy rail and light rail stations.

In October 2019 the station was the setting of a viral video. The video showcased a feral cat sitting on the gates while passengers streamed past it. The two-minute video went viral and accumulated millions of views and TV coverage around the world, a few days later the mayor of Petah Tikva came to pay tribute to the cat and was also caught on camera and became a part of the ongoing story [3][4][5]
