The station originally was curved, straddling the 90-degree intersection of C Street and Park Boulevard. In May 2007, a replacement station opened as part of the Smart Corner mixed-use development now surrounding it.[6] The station was then closed from September 10, 2012[7][8] until November 16, 2012, for renovations as part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[4] during which a temporary stop was erected one block away on C Street between 10th and 11th Avenues.[7][8]
