Broadway Station is near the intersection with John R. Street. It opened on July 31, 1987, and serves as a key access point to several downtown landmarks, including the Detroit Opera House, Music Hall, Comerica Park, Ford Field, and the Boll Family YMCA.
The station is the next stop after Cadillac Center and before Gand Circus Park.
Architecturally modest but culturally rich, the station features a vibrant mural titled The Blue Nile by Charles McGee. It is the People Mover's only true painting and presents McGee's Noah's Ark theme executed in an African style. This piece, painted on alucabond panels using industrial enamel, depicts abstract figures and animals, symbolizing equality among all living beings. The station sits at the edge of Paradise Valley, a historic district once central to Detroit's Black cultural life, and today it connects visitors to a growing arts and dining scene.
As with all People Mover Stations, it is handicapped accessible with an elevator and an escalator as well as stairs.
