38th Street station is a light rail station on the Blue Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
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.[2] The initial plan was adopted in 2006.[3]
From 38th Street Station, there are direct bus connections to Metro Transit routes 14, 22, and 23.[4]
Metro Transit proposed building secure, covered bike storage for 53 bicycles in 2016. The structure would have required a Go-To Card to operate.[5]
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.[6] [7]
The interior of the shelters on the station platform have bronze miniatures of Sears Catalog kit houses. The adjacent neighborhoods have many bungalow houses built around the era of Sears Catalog kit houses.[8]
The announcer for this station can be heard on the opening of "Arthur's Song" by Atmosphere on the album Southsiders.[9]
