caption_attribution_description: English: The Evelyn (VTA) light rail station in Mountain View, California, USA.
context_page_description: Evelyn was a station of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority as part of its VTA Light Rail system, located in Mountain View, California. It closed on March 16, 2015, and was demolished to make room for a second track.
  The station was built as part of the Tasman West extension project and opened December 17, 1999. It was last served by the Mountain View–Winchester line. Currently, Orange Line trains pass through the station site without stopping.
  After the station closed in 2015, the park and ride lot across the street from the station remained available to transit passengers but was lightly used. In May 2019, the lot was leased to the City of Mountain View who plans to use the lot as a safe place for homeless people living in vehicles to park. The long term plan is to use the two-acre parking lot parcel to build 180 affordable apartments.
