Location

7th & Richards / Township 9 is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in Sacramento, California, United States. The station was opened on June 15, 2012, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. As part of the Green Line, it has service to Downtown Sacramento and will ultimately provide service to the Sacramento International Airport upon build-out of the Green Line.

It is located along Richards Boulevard at North 7th Street in the River District, north of Downtown Sacramento. Its opening coincided with the completion of a 1.1-mile (1.8 km) extension of track at a cost of $44 million as the first new station constructed as part of the Green Line.[1][2] Its opening is envisioned to serve as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the River District by city officials.[1][2]
