Government Center Metrorail Station (Improvements)
Metrorail stations were constructed over 35 years ago and now need to be enhanced and refurbished in an
effort to extend the life of the asset. DTPW initiated a series of inspections of all 22 metrorail stations and
their surroundings, documenting deficiencies and possible opportunities for enhancement in an effort to
improve safety, comfort and convenience of the traveling public. Phase 1 of the project has been completed
and involved conducting field assessments and visual inspections of the metrorail stations to identify short
and long-term improvements. The cost of Phase 1 was $170,000 completed in 2017.

From the phase 1 Assessment, DTPW identified the Government
Center Metrorail Station as priority one.
