had been planned for some time, being first announced in 2010 as part of a new urban plan for the area. The plan included the construction of around 8,000 homes, a new metro station and a park and ride facility.

The construction of the new station finished in 2014, but further protests delayed the construction of the parking facility, as a result the station remained closed.
