The station, along with a 1,087 space park and ride lot, reused a partially built, but later abandoned freeway project.
Many commuters who drive to light rail, even those who live closer to the Watt/I-80 stations, use the Roseville Road station since it has a large, reasonably well-patrolled parking lot, and is easier to reach by car.[3]
The station has no functional pedestrian access, with a 2018 report finding "no sidewalks within a half mile of the platform."[4]
