Renew the Blue Outreach

Franklin Avenue Station Renovation

The Franklin Avenue Station renovation project is part of the Renew the Blue system restoration initiative and will help it remain a safe, reliable, and affordable transit option for many years to come! The designs will prioritize the use of durable and energy-efficient materials which will help extend the life of station's investments and increase its sustainability. The project also aims to modernize the station, enhancing its service to the community through improved accessibility, a better customer experience, reduced maintenance, and increased connectivity. As part of this effort, we are working with the community to assure the station's design reflects the neighborhood and the people it serves.


Activities 

Phase 3 Open House

Metro Transit held a July 15 open house to provide feedback on the final design concept for Franklin Avenue Station. Feedback we collected during Phase 2 helped shape accessibility ramp placements, stair lighting, decorative signage, and additional features. We’ve incorporated your ideas and invite you to view the final station design concept and discuss your insights about how to best incorporate art, cultural place-keeping, and community identity into the station design with project staff.
