History
Tri-Rail commuter service began on January 9, 1989, with Boca Raton as one of the intermediate stops.[1][2] It was located at NW 53rd Street, slightly north of Yamato Road.[3]
n the mid-1990s, the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority began a project to double track the Tri-Rail corridor. The agency awarded a $231 million contract for the Palm Beach County segment in August 2001.[4] Several stations were modified in 2003–2005 with a second platform and a footbridge. Those at Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Mangonia Park, and West Palm Beach were all built to the same design.[5] The rebuilt Boca Raton station was located south of Yamato Road, about Script error: No such module "convert". from the previous station. The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority purchased the Script error: No such module "convert". site for $2.7 million in August 2003.[6] It was planned to open on October 22, 2005, but ultimately opened on November 4 after a 13-day suspension of Tri-Rail service due to Hurricane Wilma.[3][7]
By 2014, Boca Raton was the busiest station in the system with 1,600 daily riders.[8] A second Boca Raton Tri-Rail station at Glades Road (SR 808) was proposed in the 2010s, but it was cancelled in 2019 when plans for an adjacent development fell through.[9][10]
