Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center (Washington Metro)

Encyclopedia : M : MT : MTV : Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center (Washington Metro)

Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center (formerly Mt Vernon Square-UDC) is a Washington Metro station in Washington, DC on the Green and Yellow Lines. Yellow Line trains terminate service here, and reverse direction using a pocket track just north of the station. As a pilot program, beginning in January 2007, Metro will run off-peak yellow line trains north to Fort Totten as part of an experiment to determine ridership.

The station is located in Northwest Washington at 7th and M Streets. It takes its name from the nearby Mount Vernon Square, its location along 7th Street, NW, and the fact that the station's entrance lies adjacent to the Washington Convention Center. It is also near some facilities of the University of the District of Columbia, giving it the former UDC portion of its name. The station's name was originally intended to be "Federal City College". Service began on May 11, 1991.
