During early planning for the station, Adams County officials proposed moving the station to the west side of Federal Boulevard to benefit a real estate developer, while RTD's preferred east location would require industrial cleanup but would kickstart revitalization of the area.

The station features the largest piece of public art to be commissioned by RTD: Addison Karl's 374-foot-long (114 m) hand-painted mural "Doradus", along the embanked wall. A major transit-oriented development, on 22 acres (8.9 ha) northwest of the station, is planned to open with the station and include up to 1,125 residential units and 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of commercial space.
