70th Street is a San Diego Trolley station served by the Green Line in La Mesa, California, in the United States. The next station west is Alvarado Medical Center and the next station east is Grossmont Transit Center.
One of the newer stations in the San Diego Trolley network, the facility is locally noted for its artwork using California native plants and recycled materials. 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. Landscaping includes edible wild strawberries, lemonade berry bushes, and native California wild roses.
The station provides direct service to Qualcomm Stadium.
Famous quotes containing the word street:
“If the street life, not the Whitechapel street life, but that of the common but so-called respectable part of town is in any city more gloomy, more ugly, more grimy, more cruel than in London, I certainly don’t care to see it. Sometimes it occurs to one that possibly all the failures of this generation, the world over, have been suddenly swept into London, for the streets are a restless, breathing, malodorous pageant of the seedy of all nations.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
