Teodora Draizera is located in between the Oleksandra Saburova and Kashtanova stations. It is named in honor of Theodore Dreiser, an American novelist and journalist.
At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the "Vulytsia Draizera" station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
