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.
