American Boulevard is a light rail station in Bloomington, Minnesota at the intersection of 34th Avenue South and American Boulevard, just south of Interstate 494. It is the sixteenth stop southbound on the Hiawatha Line from Minneapolis. It is the only station on the Hiawatha Line to have a split design where the northbound platform is on the opposite end of the intersection from the southbound platform. It is an infill station, built after the rest of the line had been completed. It had been included in the original plans for the Hiawatha Line, but was shelved at the time due to extra costs incurred when plans for the Mall of America station changed. The station had a dedication ceremony for construction workers on December 9, 2009 and opened December 12, 2009.
