How do I say this in English? It's kind ambiguous even in the Sp. version. Context: "EL TRAZO INICIA EN LOS TALLERES, *A LA ALTURA DE* LA CALLE JOSÉ BERNAL, TOMANDO LA AV. SAN RAFAEL ATLIXCO, DONDE SE UBICA LA ESTACIÓN TERMINAL TLÁHUAC, *A LA ALTURA DE* LA CALLE JOSÉ MARIANO CADENA"

Having it all in capitals doesn't help!
I think that the whole thing reads so:
* The route starts at the workshops, which are near the Calle José Bernal junction, following/taking Avenida San Rafael Atlixco, where the terminal station [hmm - what kind of station? Word order?] Tláhuac is, near the calle José Mariano Cadena junction.*

: yes. that is the standard way in Mexico to refer to point in a long road. Here is a map of the area. The station is a metro/underground/subway station. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
