Franklin Avenue is a light rail station on the Hiawatha Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the sixth stop southbound.
This station is a bridge above Franklin Avenue along Minnesota State Highway 55, in Minneapolis. This is a center-platform station. Along with the Lake Street station, Franklin Avenue is one of the two above-grade stations on the Hiawatha Line. The station is home to the marquee of the New Franklin theater, located nearby. Service began at this station when the Hiawatha Line opened on June 26, 2004.
The maintenance base of the line is just to the north, between this stop and Cedar-Riverside. When train operators begin and end their shifts, they used to make an extra stop there to take on the new driver. The new driver now boards the train at Franklin Avenue Station.
