History

edit

The station opened on July 10, 1996,[2] when light rail service was extended 2.2 miles (3.5 km) from Tower City through The Flats and along the lakefront. This extension was designated the Waterfront Line, although it is actually an extension of the Blue and Green Lines, as trains leaving this station toward Tower City continue along the Blue or Green Line routes to Shaker Heights.

Station layout

edit

The station has two side platforms, each with a glass shelter and a mini-high platform which allow passengers with disabilities to access trains.
