Lee (RTA Green Line Rapid Transit Station)
Lee is a station stop on the RTA Green Line in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It is located at the intersection of Lee Road and Shaker Boulevard (Ohio State Route 87) in Shaker Heights.
The station has the same name as Lee station on the Blue Line. The Blue Line station is located 1.0 mile (1.6 km) south on Van Aken Boulevard.
The station comprises two side platforms, the westbound platform west of the intersection, and the eastbound platform east of the intersection, with small shelters on each of the platforms. The platforms are located on the opposite side of the intersection than most other Green Line platforms on Shaker Boulevard because there are left turn lanes on Shaker Boulevard. Thus, trains must go through the intersection before picking up or discharging passengers, rather than loading before going through the intersection.

“O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!”
—Katharine Lee Bates (1859–1929)
“Among the Indians he had fought;
And with him many tales he brought
Of pleasure and of fear;
Such tales as told to any Maid
By such a Youth, in the green shade,
Were perilous to hear.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
