Capitol/Rice Street[1][2] is a planned light rail station along the Central Corridor line in Saint Paul, Minnesota. According to a preliminary engineering draft from June 2010, it will be located along the south side of University Avenue between Rice Street and Park Street/Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. This is on the north side of Leif Erikson Park, west of the Minnesota State Capitol.[3]

Construction in this area is expected to begin in 2012.[4] The station is expected to open along with the rest of the line in 2014.
