Bruns Avenue station
Bruns Avenue is a streetcar station in Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s part of the CityLynx Gold Line and sits at grade on West Trade Street, featuring an island platform with two tracks. The stop is located between South Bruns Avenue and North Bruns Avenue, near Mosaic Village and the Jerusalem House of God. It serves the Seversville and Western Heights neighborhoods in Charlotte’s West End.
The Seversville and Western Heights areas grew in the late 1800s, with Seversville developing as a ring village near Savona Mill and Western Heights built as a residential suburb by W. L. Alexander. Today the area around Bruns Avenue blends single-family homes and multifamily buildings.
Bruns Avenue was approved as a Gold Line Phase 2 stop in 2013. Construction began in Fall 2016, and although opening was planned for early 2020, delays pushed the opening to August 30, 2021.
The station has an island platform with two passenger shelters, plus a crosswalk and ramp for street access from West Trade Street. The shelters feature two art installations by George Bates. The windscreens are titled “The Worth of That, is That Which It Contains” and “That is This, and This With Thee Remains.” The titles reference a 1954 Johnson C. Smith University yearbook excerpt about Shakespeare’s sonnet 74.
