Lamar station is a ground-level light rail facility on the W Line within the RTD Rail network, situated close to the intersection of West 13th Avenue and Lamar Street in Lakewood, Colorado. Located inside Lakewood's 40 West Arts District, it provides access to businesses along West Colfax Avenue and lies approximately from the campus of the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
Inaugurated on April 26, 2013, Lamar station forms a component of the West Corridor constructed as part of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) FasTracks initiative, which was financed through a sales tax increase endorsed by voters in the Denver metro region.
The vicinity has undergone transit-oriented development, featuring three buildings that combine residential and commercial uses. Along the station’s northern edge runs the W Line bikeway in an east-west direction, complemented by marked bicycle lanes extending northward toward West Colfax Avenue.
