History
The Iris Avenue station commenced operations on July 26, 1981, as a component of the original 15.9-mile "South Line" segment of the San Diego Trolley network, which connected San Ysidro to downtown San Diego by utilizing the tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.
Although initially scheduled for refurbishment in September 2014, MTS undertook reconstruction of the parking lot’s west side in 2023 following completion of Rapid 227. This enhancement became fully functional by October 15, 2023, supporting routes 933/934 and 906/907. The comprehensive station modernization at Iris Avenue was concluded in 2015 through the Trolley Renewal Project, with the updated platform reopening in May of that year.
