However, it was anticipated that light rail would serve the station in the near future[5] and it was referred to as the West Valley Intermodal Hub anyway.

Fairbourne Station is a $500 million 40 acres (16 ha) transit-oriented commercial development that was planned specifically in conjunction with the construction of the West Valley Intermodal Hub.
