[edit] Renovations
This station is currently (August 21, 2006) undergoing renovation. Construction contractors have demolished the westbound building, erected a temporary platform covering the northernmost track, and poured the foundation columns for the new building. Westbound trains currently use the center track. The platform has a number of bus-stop-like shelters along its length, plus a number of LCD monitors that display westbound train information every weekday evening during peak hours.
