Westgate is a light rail station along the METRO Green Line in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is located along University Avenue on either side of the intersection with Berry Street. The station has split side platforms, with the westbound platform on the north side of the tracks west of Berry Street, while the eastbound platform is on the south side of the tracks on the east side of the intersection.[2] The westbound platform slightly extends into neighboring Minneapolis.

Construction in this area began in March 2011.[3] The station opened along with the rest of the line in 2014.

On August 31, 2014 around 10:15 AM Shana G. Buchanan, 42, was hit and killed at the Westgate station by the Metro Green Line train as she crossed the tracks in front of the train. [4]
