History

The center was delayed by negotiations over land. Construction started in the spring of 2013, with an expected completion date in the fall of 2015.[3] The $34.8-million transit center was designed to ease bus transfers and improve pedestrian safety.[4] The station opened for service on December 22, 2016.[2]

The Purple Line system is under construction as of 2023 and is scheduled to open in 2026.[5]
