Belvedere Station is an LRT station on the Capital Line in Edmonton, Alberta. It is a ground-level station located at Fort Road and 129 Avenue.
History
The station is one of the original five stations, and opened on April 22, 1978. At that time, Belvedere was the north east terminus of the line.
The station underwent significant upgrades including a covered station, five car platform, and a grade separated pedestrian overpass—at a cost of $6.3 million, in 1998.[3]
Belvedere Station won two awards, the Masonry Contractors Association of Alberta Award of Excellence and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, Alberta Steel Design Award in the Architectural Category for Most Effective and Innovative Use of Structural Steel.[3]
Station layout
The station has a 121-metre-long (397 ft) centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is just under 8 m (26 ft) wide, which is narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines.[4]
The LRT station and transit centre has a park and ride lot with 780 parking spaces.
Public art
Belvedere Station is decorated with stained glass pieces entitled "Travail in Tandem".[5]
