HELP DESIGN YOUR LIGHT RAIL STATION.
A light rail station is coming to your neighborhood and you can help design it to reflect the unique character and comfort needs of your community.
Architects and artists are beginning work on designs for the stations and they need your help. Come to a workshop to review feedback from the design visioning sessions, brainstorm station design ideas, and talk about how architecture, public art and landscaping can be used to dress up your station.
