Why here

The initial northern end of the Spine, near Liberty High School, with room to extend along the Linden St corridor if demand supports it.

Program ideas (planning phase)

  • Terminal charger and layover
  • Extra trips at school bell times

Every station also gets the station kit: level boarding, shelter, lighting, real-time screens, bike racks, a rain garden and a sorting point for recycling, compost and trash.

What exists today

  • About 30 LANTA weekday trips within 400 m (2022 timetable data).
