Victoria Street station is a
University Avenue on both sides of the intersection with Victoria Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The station has split side platforms, with the westbound platform on the north side of the tracks west of Victoria and the eastbound platform on the south side of the tracks east of the intersection.[2]
Along with
Western Avenue Station, this station was planned to be an infill station that would be built after the main line was constructed when there was sufficient demand. However, significant political pressure and changes in the Federal Transit Administration's rules led to an early 2010 announcement that it would be built with the rest of the line.[3]
Construction in this area began in 2012.[4] The station opened along with the rest of the line in 2014.
