17th Street/Santa Monica College (formerly Sunset) is an at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system located near the intersection of 17th Street and Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California. It serves the Expo Line.[1]


Location and design

The station is located in the Midtown District of Santa Monica, in the center of Colorado Avenue west of 17th Street, adjacent to Memorial Park: the City of Santa Monica refers to this station area as the "Memorial Park Neighborhood Transit Village".[2] It is three blocks from Santa Monica College.

The east end of the station is at 17th Street and the west end of the station is mid-block between 15th and 16th Streets with entrances at either end. Parking and an off-street bus stop is located just south of Colorado between 16th and 17th Streets.[3]

History

Originally located south of Colorado on a private right-of-way, the line and following stations were moved to the median of Colorado boulevard per a request from the City of Santa Monica during the line's design phase.
