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.

Famous quotes containing the words lee, green, line, rapid and/or transit:
“One’s gone, one’s born. It’s an amazing process, isn’t it? As many as I’ve delivered, it never fails to awe me.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
“by Spoon Rivergathering many a shell,
And many a flower and medicinal weed—
Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.
At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all,
And passed to a sweet repose.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist’s presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul’s style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“he dreadful darts
With rapid glide along the leaning line;
And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
