Platforms and tracks
In alignment with the design principles of the Blue Line Southwest Extension, 4th Avenue/Wayne Hultgren station includes an island platform dedicated to northbound trains and a side platform for southbound services. These platforms are incorporated into a plaza that links directly to nearby bus stops. The southbound track is set flush with the pavement, allowing passengers to cross safely and conveniently to reach the northbound platform. This configuration enhances pedestrian movement while maintaining cost-effective construction methods.
