Fairview St is an under-construction OC Streetcar station. It is located on the former Pacific Electric West Santa Ana Branch at its intersection with Fairview St, for which the station is named after.
History
In 2006, the Orange County Transportation Authority proposed a new light rail system to serve the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove.[1] The western segment of the line, which terminates at Harbor Transit Center, runs along the West Santa Ana Branch right-of-way formerly used by Pacific Electric's Santa Ana Line from 1905 to 1958.[2] Construction began in 2018 and the streetcar is expected to begin service in March 2026, after repeated delays.
