Atlantic station (Los Angeles Metro)

From Alfawiki

Atlantic station is a surface-level light rail stop on the E Line within the Los Angeles Metro Rail network, situated at the intersection of Atlantic and Pomona Boulevards in East Los Angeles.

Inaugurated on November 15, 2009, as part of the Gold Line Eastside Extension, this station presently functions as the E Line's eastern endpoint. Plans are underway to move the station to accommodate the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 by the year 2035.

On April 22, 2010, a parking garage with 268 spaces was introduced to complement an already existing lot with 21 spaces.

Station layout

The station consists of a simple island platform flanked by two tracks positioned in the median of East 3rd Street. Access to the platform is provided via two ramps: one located at South Atlantic Boulevard leading to the park and ride garage, and another at the junction of East Beverly Boulevard and South Woods Avenue.

Future

The Metro intends to replace the existing surface-level station with a shallow open-air underground facility featuring two side platforms covered by a canopy as part of the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 initiative. This new station will be constructed south of the current location, underneath the triangular area bordered by Atlantic Boulevard, Pomona Boulevard, and Beverly Boulevard. The parking structure northeast of the present station will continue to serve riders, and existing public art installations will be transferred to the new site.
