The Circle Link buses stop at the corner of East 114th Street and Glenwood Avenue at the northern entrance to the station.Though the station has been modified from its original 1955 form to be partly ADA accessible, federal funds were secured in October 2010 for a complete reconstruction of the station to bring it into full compliance. Plans for the new station, which were completed in 2011, call for completely reconstructing the rail station in the same general location, moving the bus loop transfer zone to the north side of the station, and eliminating the south bus slip transfer area. Ground was broken on September 19, 2012 and the North side entrance to the station closed indefinitely on November 5, 2012.Notable places nearby University Circle Case Western Reserve University Little Italy
