Saint James station (VTA)
Saint James station is currently closed for a wheelchair accessibility refurbishment project. The nearest open stations are the Japantown/Ayer Station and Santa Clara St Station.
Saint James is a light rail station operated by Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. The station is located located in Downtown San Jose, California on 1st and 2nd Streets just north of St James Street. The northbound platform is on 1st Street (address is 150 N. First Street); the southbound platform is on 2nd Street (address is 101 N. Second Street). Saint James is served by both the Alum Rock-Santa Teresa and Mountain View-Winchester light rail lines.
Saint James is one of the few remaining stations in the system that is not fully wheelchair accessible. The level of the platform is approximately fourteen inches lower than the floor of the light rail vehicle. A temporary wooden ramp was erected to allow wheelchair users to board and deboard via the forward-most door of the forward-most car of the light rail train.[1]
VTA temporarily closed this station for refurbishment on February 27, 2006 to make the station fully wheelchair accessible. The station should reopen within 18 months.[2]
