The Rapid Breaks Ground for Amtrak Station

The Rapid in Grand Rapids, MI, recently broke ground for a new Amtrak station adjacent to the public transportation agency’s main transfer facility, Rapid Central Station. A pedestrian walkway will connect the two facilities when the Amtrak station opens in 2013.

The new Amtrak station will be named in honor of former Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-MI), whose district included Grand Rapids.

It will provide a multimodal connection for residents and travelers in the region and will complement the growth and redevelopment of the Grandville Avenue corridor anchored by Rapid Central Station.
