Robert Street[1] (called Capitol East until November 2011)[2] is a light rail station under construction along the Central Corridor line in Saint Paul, Minnesota. According to a preliminary engineering draft from June 2010, it will be located on the west side of Robert Street, largely between 14th Street and Columbus Avenue. This is in an area of government buildings a short distance from the Minnesota State Capitol.[3]

Initial construction in this area began in August 2010.[4] This station is expected to open along with the rest of the line in 2014.
