Fifth Avenue station (previously known as Gaslamp station) is a stop on the San Diego Trolley system, serving the Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line. Situated in the Core district of downtown San Diego, California, the station is positioned along C Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, amid a cluster of commercial office buildings.
This station is among the original stops of the San Diego Trolley network, having commenced operations on July 26, 1981. It was originally named Gaslamp station because of its close location to the Gaslamp Quarter. During the construction of the Bayside extension, it was designated Gaslamp North to distinguish it from the newly planned Gaslamp South station. Upon the extension's inauguration in 1990, the newer stop adopted the name Gaslamp Quarter station, prompting this station to be renamed Fifth Avenue to prevent any confusion.
From December 17, 2012, until June 2013, the station was temporarily closed to undergo upgrades as part of the Trolley Renewal Project.
