Atlantic station is an at grade light rail station on the E Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located at the intersection of Atlantic and Pomona Boulevards in East Los Angeles.[3]
This station opened on November 15, 2009, as part of the Gold Line Eastside Extension and currently serves as the eastern terminus of the E Line. The station is expected to be relocated to accommodate service for the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 by 2035.
A 268-space parking structure for this station opened on April 22, 2010, joining a 21-space parking lot.[1][4]

Future
[edit]As part of plans for the future planned Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project, Metro plans to replace the existing at-grade station with a shallow open-air underground station with two side platforms and a canopy. The new station would be located on the south side of the current station, underneath the current triangular parcel of land bound by Atlantic Boulevard, Pomona Boulevard, and Beverly Boulevard. The current parking structure to the northeast of the current station will continue to serve the new station, and the artwork at the current station will be relocated to the new station.[8]
