History
The station opened on June 14, 1996 as part of the original light rail system.[3]
Following the shooting of Dallas police officers on July 7, 2016, the station was closed during the investigation of the nearby crime scene.[4] Trains were stopping at all transit mall stations except West End, which they passed through during the incident.[5] News outlets reported that ridership was lower than normal just after the attacks at nearby stations such as Akard, St. Paul, and Pearl/Arts District, typically busy stations during the morning rush hour.[6]
