History

Iris 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, and in 2023, MTS reconstructed the west side of the parking lot following the finishing of Rapid 227. It was completed and put to service on October 15, 2023, for routes 933/934 and 906/907. MTS would finish the renewal project on Iris avenue in 2015. [8] [9] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project, [10] [7] it reopened with a renovated station platform in May 2015. [11]
