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 San Ysidro north to downtown San Diego using the main line tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.[6][1]
This station was originally scheduled to undergo renovation starting September 2014,[8][9] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[10] though actual renovation construction didn't begin until October 2014;[7][11] it reopened with a renovated station platform in March 2015. During 2024, a plan to take down the park and ride to build apartment buildings is being decided. This would be one of few stations in the San Diego Trolley that had a park and ride removed and replaced by apartment buildings.[12][13]
