17th Street/Santa Monica College (formerly Sunset) is an at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system located near the intersection of 17th Street and Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California. When it re-opens, this station will be served by the Expo Line.

Part of the Expo Phase 2 project, it will open on May 20, 2016.

Location and design

The station is located in the Midtown District of Santa Monica, in the center of Colorado Avenue west of 17th Street, adjacent to Memorial Park: the City of Santa Monica refers to this station area as the "Memorial Park Neighborhood Transit Village". It is three blocks from Santa Monica College.

The east end of the station will be at 17th Street and the west end of the station will be mid-block between 15th and 16th Streets with entrances at either end. Parking and an off-street bus stop will be located just south of Colorado between 16th and 17th Streets.

History

Originally located south of Colorado on a private right-of-way, the line and following stations were moved to the median of Colorado boulevard per a request from the City of Santa Monica during the line's design phase.
