Palm Avenue is a station on the Blue Line of the San Diego Trolley located in the Palm City neighborhood of San Diego. The stop serves a variety of purposes, holding the function of commuter center with a park and ride lot and to provide access to the nearby commercial and residential areas.

History

Palm Avenue opened as part of the initial 15.9-mile (25.6 km) "South Line" of the San Diego Trolley system on July 26, 1981, operating from Template:Mtss north to Downtown San Diego using the main line tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.[4][1]

This station was originally scheduled to undergo renovation starting September 2014,[6][7] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[8] though actual renovation construction didn't begin until October 2014;[5][9] it reopened with a renovated station platform in March 2015.[10][11]
