I'm thrilled that the light rail line finally opened near my home! It's been years in the making, and it's a much-needed addition to our community. The surrounding areas have undergone significant improvements to accommodate this station. Even though it's not packed yet--it only opened on Saturday, 12/6/25--it feels great to have something like this.
The entrance to the rail station is open and well-lit, and welcoming.
The parking structure has three levels. On the other side of the garage is accessible parking and a few designated spots for passenger pick-up and drop-off. A well-thought-out design.
Sunday night was my first trip out from this station, and there weren't many people, however, the presence of a sheriff at the entrance provided a sense of security.
On my return trip at 6:15 a.m. on Monday morning, the station was pretty quiet and not as busy as I thought it would be, especially for the weekday commute. The transit security personnel patrolling the area further enhanced my sense of safety.
I'm hoping more people will start using public transportation at this station. read more
