70th Street station is a San Diego Trolley station served by the Green Line in La Mesa, California, United States. The next station west is UC San Diego Health East, and the next station east is Grossmont Transit Center.
One of the newer stations in the San Diego Trolley network having opened in 2005,[1] the facility is locally noted for its artwork using California native plants and recycled materials.[2] Parts of the platform are paved with chips of colored used glass, the benches are made of cobblestones excavated from the site during the station's construction, and bench seats are made of recycled plastics.[2] Landscaping includes edible wild strawberries, lemonade berry bushes, and native California wild roses.[2]
The station provided direct service to San Diego Stadium during home games for the San Diego Chargers.[3][4]
