Station changes since opening

Metro Transit proposed building secure, covered bike storage for 53 bicycles in 2016. The structure would have required a Go-To Card to operate.

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.

Art at station and in popular culture

Sears catalog kit homes inside the shelter on the station's platform.

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.

The announcer for this station can be heard on the opening of "Arthur's Song" by Atmosphere on the album Southsiders.
