It will provide an additional transportation choice for people to attend the many outdoor events and festivals that happen in the Centre City every year. The station will provide further access to outdoor recreational space, cultural and historic assets.
As this station will be in the Centre City, people who work in the many office towers and businesses in the area will have another option for travelling to and from work. Redevelopment in the area will bring additional residents and jobs to the area, making it important to provide the people who live, work and play in the area with additional travel choices.
