Location

Gaslamp Quarter station is a station of the Green and Silver Lines on the San Diego Trolley. It is located between Harbor Drive and L Street, and Fifth and Sixth Avenues, in the Gaslamp Quarter section of the city and serves the surrounding trendy neighborhood. A variety of entertainment destinations and restaurants, as well as Petco Park, are accessible from the station.

This station was partly opened on May 3, 1990 for weekend service from the Convention Center to 12th & Imperial.[2] It was fully opened June 30, 1990 as part of the Orange Line's (then called the East Line) Bayside Extension;[3] it should not be confused with the original Gaslamp (North) station that opened in 1981 and was permanently renamed the Fifth Avenue station in 1986.

The station remained open while undergoing renovations from February through July 2013,[4] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project.[5]

On September 2, 2012, service to this station by the Orange Line was replaced by the Green Line as part of a system redesign.[6]

On April 27, 1989, in the midst of juggling East Line construction and openings, Trolley officials broke ground for the next project, the Bayside Line. A portion of the route, between Imperial Avenue and the San Diego Convention Center, opened for weekend service only on May 3, 1990. When the complete line started service on June 30, 1990, the two-mile segment became an extension of the East Line.
