Location

Morrison Creek is a Sacramento RT light rail infill station in Sacramento, California. It opened on August 29, 2021, as a walk-on only station.[1][2] The station platform was built as part of extension of the Blue Line to Cosumnes River College that opened in 2015.[3]

The station was planned in anticipation of the construction of transit-oriented development next to the site, and include a 75-space park and ride lot and a bus transfer area. It was then decided to partially open the station in 2021, but the station's lot and bus area remains closed until the development actually breaks ground.[3][4][5]

With the roads around the site still not completed, the station can only be accessed from the path that runs north to Ann Arbor Way.
