Cedar–Riverside is a light rail station on the METRO Blue Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This station is located between 15th and 16th Avenues south, in Minneapolis. The station is near the interchange of Interstate 35W, Interstate 94 and Minnesota State Highway 55. This is a center-platform station. Service began at this station when the Blue Line opened on June 26, 2004. It is one of a few stations where there are no designated bus routes to transfer to or from, though buses run along Cedar Avenue a few blocks away.
As light rail vehicles are removed from service following the rush hour peak, the Cedar–Riverside station is the last stop for the trains and all passengers must disembark at that point. The maintenance base for the line is located between this station and the Franklin Avenue stop to the south.
The transparent roof of the station has constellations marked on it.
