Lemon Grove Depot—previously known as Broadway Lemon Grove station—is a stop on the Orange Line of the San Diego Trolley. Situated within the suburban city of Lemon Grove, California, this station caters to a densely inhabited area comprising both commercial enterprises and residential neighborhoods.
Starting in January 2015, a Saturday farmers market has been held at the station, fostering stronger community ties and supporting local businesses.
History
The station commenced operations on May 12, 1989, as part of the Euclid Line's second phase (which was later renamed the East Line). Initially, service ran between and , before extending further eastward one month later.
Between winter 2012 and fall 2013, Lemon Grove Depot underwent upgrades as part of the Trolley Renewal Project. Despite ongoing construction, the station continued to serve passengers without interruption.
Lemon Grove Promenade
A redevelopment initiative valued at $5.1 million was launched by Lemon Grove around the depot site to establish the Lemon Grove Promenade. This development includes a public plaza, a park area, and two wind turbines designed to generate electricity. Construction work started on July 19, 2012, with the official opening held on September 27, 2013. The project earned recognition through a public works award for its positive impact on community revitalization.
