Cold Spring Lane station serves as a light rail stop within the Baltimore Light Rail network, positioned on Cold Spring Lane close to the Interstate 83 interchange. It consists of two side platforms accommodating a pair of tracks.
Located nearby is the site of the former Melvale station, which was part of the Northern Central Railway under the ownership of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Transit-oriented development
A transit-oriented, mixed-use project was proposed in 2012 at 2001 West Cold Spring Lane, in proximity to this station. In 2016, the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) purchased a 16-acre tract at this location. Following this acquisition, Klein Enterprises and Manekin LLC developed a residential complex named The Woodberry, comprising 284 units, which reached completion in spring 2020. Positioned next to the Jones Falls stream north of the Woodberry neighborhood, the development seeks to capitalize on easy access to both the light rail and Jones Falls trail to attract future residents.
Although strategically placed, the project has been criticized for inadequate pedestrian connections to Cold Spring Lane station and for adopting the name Woodberry—shared with a different station located further south—instead of reflecting its immediate adjacency to Cold Spring Lane stop.
