Downtown Denton Transit Center
The station is about a 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of downtown Denton, 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) south of Texas Woman's University, and 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) east of the University of North Texas.
Unlike other A-train stations, Downtown Denton does not primarily serve as a park-and-ride lot. However, the A-train operates a fare-free travel zone between Downtown Denton and MedPark, which allows riders to utilize MedPark's lot.
On DCTA maps and signage, the station is denoted by a grey circle containing the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square.
The official name of the station is the Euline Brock Downtown Denton Transit Center in honor of Euline Brock, a former mayor who was an advocate for investment in both Downtown Denton and public transit.
History
In 2005, the City of Denton received a federal grant for a downtown transit facility, totaling $3.1 million. Initial plans for the project were presented in 2008. A groundbreaking was held on March 22, 2010.
On June 18, 2011, the A-train's opening ceremony, dubbed the "Rock n' Rail Station Celebration", took place. A ribbon-cutting was held at Downtown Denton Transit Center, which was followed by free rides on the train and live music at all DCTA-built stations. Revenue service began the following Monday.
On August 7, 2013, the station was formally renamed in honor of Euline Brock. Brock was a member of Denton City Council from 1992 to 1998, the mayor of Denton from 2000 to 2006, and an advocate for investment in both Downtown Denton and public transit. A placard commemorating Brock was installed the following year.
