The station is located on the northwest side of 47th Avenue, and serves the Campbell Soup Company manufacturing facility, surrounding industrial areas, and the 47th Avenue, Hogan, and 24th Street neighborhoods.
Platforms and tracks
Like nearly all stations built as part of the Blue Line Southwest Extension, 47th Avenue station has a rather unique layout with an island platform serving northbound trains and a side platform boarding area for southbound trains, integrated into a plaza that leads into the 423 space park and ride lot. The southbound tracks are embedded in the pavement, allowing passengers to cross to the northbound platform from any point in the plaza. The layout is both efficient and a cost-effective way of providing a pedestrian-train interface.[3]
