Sheridan station is a light rail station on the W Line of the RTD rail system. It is located alongside the banks of the Lakewood Gulch under Sheridan Boulevard, after which the station is named.[1] The station straddles Denver County and Jefferson County, though RTD considers it to be located in Denver. A marking etched into the center of the platform indicates the location of the county line. The station opened on April 26, 2013, and was built as part of the FasTracks public transportation expansion plan[4][5].

The station is connected to Sheridan Boulevard by a pair of elevators and stairs on either side of the road, though both are located adjacent to the eastbound platform. From the stairs and elevators, passengers must cross the eastbound tracks to access the westbound platform. Bus connections can be found on either side of Sheridan Boulevard. The station also has an 800 space park and ride garage located on the west side of Sheridan Boulevard, south of the station and across Lakewood Gulch.
Sloan's Lake is located five blocks north of the station along Sheridan Boulevard, making this the closest station to its namesake park and neighborhood.
