Willow Street is an at grade light rail station on the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail.[1] It has an island platform, and is adjacent to Long Beach Boulevard near the intersection of Willow Street in the Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach, California.
South of this station, A Line trains exit the exclusive right-of-way (the historic route of the Pacific Electric Railway) and start their street running portion in the median of Long Beach Boulevard.
Willow is a park and ride station with 920 parking spaces (including a multi-story parking facility) and 10 bike lockers. The Willow Street and Wardlow stations, both in Wrigley, are the two A Line stations closest to the Long Beach Municipal Airport.
History
The station is on the site of a junction on the Pacific Electric Railway, where the Balboa Line split from the Long Beach Line. At various times, the junction was referred to as Willow, Willows, Willowville and North Long Beach.
