It is located along Richards Boulevard at North 7th Street in the River District, north of Downtown Sacramento. Its opening coincided with the completion of a 1.1-mile (1.8 km) extension of track at a cost of $44 million as the first new station constructed as part of the Green Line.[2][3] Its opening is envisioned to serve as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the River District by city officials.[2][3]
