This station is located at the intersection of 38th Street and Minnesota State Highway 55 (Hiawatha Avenue), in Minneapolis. This is a center-platform station. Service began at this station when the Blue Line opened on June 26, 2004.
The city of Minneapolis has a station area plan to guide development in the area.[1] The initial plan was adopted in 2006.[2]
Metro Transit proposed building secure, covered bike storage for 53 bicycles in 2016. The structure would have required a Go-To Card to operate.[3]
Metro Transit applied for federal grant money to modernize the station and build a transit-oriented development. The project would modify nearby intersections and stop lights to improve transit operations. The grant application was successful in 2022.[4][5]
