Status

The Willowbrook Rosa Parks Station was redesigned with a new A Line station platform, which includes a large bike hub, which has been identified for potential use as a retail space. The bike hub contains secure indoor bike storage, a covered area for bike racks, sizable retail space and a restroom and shower facility. Currently the SSR team is conducting surveys and hosting focus groups to gather feedback on what the community wishes to see in the space.
