Вашингтон метросының Брукленд–CUA стансасы

Washington Metro station

Brookland–CUA station is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D. C., on the Red Line. Service began on February 3, 1978. In the summer of 2018 from July 21 to September 3, the station was shut down for platform repairs due to settling of the platform and decaying concrete caused by salty de icer used in the winter.

Brookland–CUA station is slated to be the center of a massive transport oriented regeneration with the aim of increasing pedestrian friendly development and an arts focused neighborhood. The project includes a relocation of the station portals slightly to the south in a plaza with the western end of 9th, Newton, and Otis Streets which will be extended to the station plaza for more convenient access to the rest of the surrounding area. But in January 2015, the joint venture said it would take at least four years before it could complete its plans and obtain zoning commission approval, and that it would not be able to sign a lease until 2019.

The station has one slightly curved island platform. This curve requires mirrors to be placed on the westbound side of the platform to aid train operators in making sure the area is clear before closing the doors. Brookland–CUA also has a relatively uncommon layout; passengers entering the station first take escalators, stairs, or an elevator down to a lower level which includes the station's fare gates and ticket machines, before using escalators or elevators to go back up to reach the platform level; another example of this design is the station. The station's elevator between the mezzanine and platform has a single faregate at the mezzanine level, similar to the station. Like , , and , Brookland–CUA is located in the middle of the CSX Metropolitan Subdivision rail line. There are two tracks to either side of the island platform, with Metro trains use the inner tracks and Amtrak and MARC Trains using the outer tracks.
