St. Rose of Lima Park is a split Sacramento RT Light Rail station, located near the park named in honor of Rose of Lima,[1] in Downtown Sacramento, California. The northbound platform is located at the intersection of 9th & K Streets, and the former southbound platform was located at 7th & K Streets. When RT expanded the light rail system in 2007 to serve Sacramento Valley Station, it added 8th & K station in the block between the stations.[2]
St. Rose of Lima Park (9th & K)
St. Rose of Lima Park station platform, December 2012
The 9th & K platform is served by the Blue Line only. It serves the Golden 1 Center, nearby downtown office buildings and Downtown Commons (formerly Downtown Plaza), an entertainment and shopping complex that anchors the arena.
The original southbound 7th & K station platform was built in 1987, and was located on K Street between 7th and 8th Streets. It was moved in 2010 to its current location on 7th Street south of K Street, just around the corner of the same block.[3] It was served by all three RT light rail lines at the time, although only the Blue Line originally served the platform before the relocation. Despite the "new" 7th & K station being across the street from the new Golden 1 Center, it was one block north of the 7th & Capitol station platform. RT officials deemed the location too close to another light rail station, and also considered the design inadequate due to being on a slope in the block. So after extensive feedback, the 7th & Capitol platform was closed from 2015 to 2016 for renovations, also to handle passenger loads for the Sacramento Kings home games at Golden 1 Center. When that station reopened, 7th & K was closed permanently on September 30, 2016.[4]
