History
Plans for a station at the Forest/Jupiter intersection date back to DART's first rail plan in 1983. The station would be built on an existing freight corridor constructed by the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.[3] A more detailed plan of the corridor in 1997 proposed that the station and the crossings over Forest and Jupiter be elevated;[4] ultimately, the station was constructed at-grade, but the crossings remained elevated.
The Blue Line was extended to both Forest/Jupiter and Downtown Garland on November 18, 2002.[1] The station was decorated with stylized plows and gearworks, as well as a Script error: No such module "convert". wind-activated sculpture, which contains stylized prayer wheels in tribute to the area's Asian population.[5][6]
On August 15, 2009, the station was temporarily closed due to a chemical spill in an adjacent industrial park.[7]
In 2013, the city of Garland created a tax increment financing district for the area around the station.[8]
