Westminster Station Light Rail Shade Structures

Westminster, Colorado

This light rail station is designed as part of a park. The station includes a pedestrian underpass between transit oriented development (TOD) at the north and amphitheater at the south side of the park. The platform provides a prominent high point location and observation deck. It was the desire of the City of Westminster to provide enhancement upgrades to this civic landmark. The distinctive arched structures provide the overlook with shading and platform with passenger shelter. The structures are designed to glow at night.

Applebaum Architects collaborated with Matrix Design Group. The smaller shelters incorporate colorful glass art panels (Designed by Lynell), message boards, signage and integrated seating.
