The station is designed to have an island platform, partially located under Route 4.[4] It will include a parking deck for 945 vehicles incorporated into a VBF vehicle base facility (storage and maintenance facility).[5] Vehicle access from Route 4 will be via Grand Avenue (concurrent County Route 501 and New Jersey Route 93). Approximately 6 acres (2.4 ha) of property will acquired to build the parking deck and VBF.[6] Two other HBLR stations are planned in the city further north of Englewood Route 4 at Englewood Town Center and at Englewood Hospital, the line's terminus.[3]

The area radiating from the station site has been dubbed Englewood South. It is zoned for planned unit development (PUD) and consists mixed-use development that is undergoing a transformation from a warehouse distribution & manufacturing district into a residential, retail, and business neighborhood.[7][8]

History
Nordhoff station circa 1900-1910

Rail service in Englewood began in 1859 when the region was still known as the English Neighborhood.[9] By 1887 Erie Railroad's Northern Branch had three stops in the city: the southernmost at Nordhoff (#1919) (later Sheffield Avenue), the central depot at Englewood (#1921), and the northernmost at Highwood (#1923) (later Hudson Avenue).[10][11][12][13]

gollark: > datetimeObviously I already stored that.> can revisions branch like in git?Nope.> tbh why not directly use git?- can't really store/manage structured metadata well- probably annoying to interface with- would require filesystem storage instead of my neat SQLite database thing- apioforms- merge conflicts- likely to end up as a somewhat leaky abstraction
gollark: I'll just leave that constantly as `()`.
gollark: Currently my thing™ just stores the size, which is a vaguely useful metric.
gollark: Vaguely related to that, what sort of metadata should I store with revisions in my single-user wiki thing?
