Bergenline Avenue Station
Platform layout
Bergenline Avenue is the only stop in the HBLR system with an underground platform. Located 160 feet below the Hudson Palisades in the former Weehawken Terminal tunnel of the West Shore Railroad, it is reached by elevators traveling from street-level entrances located just north of bus bays. The station was designed by FXFOWLE Architects. The four porcelain enamel on steel murals that adorn the complex are entitled Between Manhattan and Meadowlands, and were created by Maria Mijares.

Bergenline Avenue is the main shopping district in North Hudson. Just over the city line it narrows from a two way thoroughfare to a narrower one way avenue heading south (with New York Avenue one block west used for northbound travel). The Bergenline Avenue Commercial Historic District, listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places, continues to 32nd Street. The Hudson County Community College maintains a location next to the station complex on Kennedy Boulevard, with Flower Hill Cemetery across the street. Grove Church Cemetery and North Bergen Town Hall are few blocks south on the boulevard.
