History

edit

Spring Street was the eastern terminus of the Euclid Line following the opening of the second segment on May 12, 1989. Also later known as the East Line, the line operated from 12th & Imperial and was further extended to El Cajon in June 1989.[5]

This station was renovated from late August[7] through December 2012[6] as part of the Trolley Renewal Project, although the station remained open during construction.
