Iris Avenue Transit Center is a station on the Blue Line of the San Diego Trolley in the Otay Mesa West neighborhood of San Diego in California, United States. 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

Iris Avenue opened as part of the initial 15.9miles "South Line" of the San Diego Trolley system on July 26, 1981, operating from north to downtown San Diego using the main line tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.

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.[7] [8] As part of the Trolley Renewal Project,[9] [10] it reopened with a renovated station platform in May 2015.[11]

Station layout

There are two tracks, each with a side platform.
