'Bringing this new light rail station to the River District is a game changer for residents and businesses where convenient, affordable access to public transportation is a vital necessity,' saidLa Shelle Dozier, Executive Director of the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency. 'It's a significant complement to the catalytic redevelopment in this area that has spurred mixed income housing, employment and economic development, and cultural amenities that will enhance quality of life in the district.'
In November 2023, the SacRT Board of Directors voted against building the station but two months later the board reversed its decision.
SacRT said the project costs $43 million.
According to the transit agency, major construction will begin this summer and the station is expected to open by the end of 2026.
