Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox station East/West Boulevard is a light rail station in Charlotte, North Carolina. The at-grade dual side platforms are a stop along the Lynx Blue Line and serves South End and nearby Dilworth and Wilmore neighborhoods.
Location
The station is located at the intersection where East Boulevard becomes West Boulevard upon crossing Camden Road and is accessible by sidewalk and the Charlotte Rail Trail. The immediate area features multi-level apartments and offices, including The Line and Lowe's Global Technology Center. The area is also notable for the number of renovated factories and eclectic mix of retail, restaurants, and bars. Also nearby is Atherton Mill and Wilmore Centennial Park.[1]
History
The station began as a heritage streetcar stop, for the Charlotte Trolley, on August 30, 1996. Consisting of a platform area along a single track, the station operated Thursday through Sunday and then daily on June 28, 2004. Service was temporarily halted on February 5, 2006, so that the station could be double-tracked and reconstructed for light rail service. The station resumed operations on November 24, 2007, as stop along the Lynx Blue Line; this was followed by the resumption of the Charlotte Trolley on April 20, 2008, operating on a limited schedule. On June 28, 2010, the Charlotte Trolley ended service, leaving the Lynx Blue Line as its sole service at the station.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
