Westminster station is a Regional Transportation District (RTD) commuter rail station on the B Line in Westminster, Colorado, part of the Denver metropolitan area. The station opened on July 25, 2016, and became the interim northern terminus of the B Line until extensions north toward Boulder and Longmont are built. From Westminster, B Line trains travel south to Union Station in Denver, taking about 11 minutes.[3] [4]
The station consists of a single platform on the north side is situated on the south side of the tracks. It will have a 350-stall park and ride that can be expanded to 1,000 spaces and a public plaza, both located on the north side of the tracks.[5] The station is connected to the nearby Adams County residential neighborhood by a 165adj=midNaNadj=mid pedestrian bridge over the tracks, platform, and nearby Little Dry Creek.[6] The underpass of the station, connecting to the north plaza, is home to a 90adj=midNaNadj=mid art installation by Brian W. Brush called "Grotto", which consists of high-density polyethylene plastic tubes lit by LED lights in an array of colors.[7]
The City of Westminster plans to encourage transit-oriented development in a 135acres area around the station; a 40acres park and open space is also planned for the south side of the station area.[6]
