The original name for the station was Douglas St/Rosecrans Ave, but was later simplified to Douglas.[3] This station was renovated in 2006 as part of street improvements in the area.
The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, are planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate three-car trains to enable increased capacity of the line.[4][5]
