Palm Garden is a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The stop is located in a segment of track where The T runs parallel to the South Busway. Shared with many bus routes, it serves as a transfer station, and also provides access to residences along the back slope of Mount Washington. The station is named for the large Palm Garden Apartments complex, which is centered on the stop.

History

Palm Garden was originally a street level stop at the northern end of the old Palm Garden Trestle.[1][2] The private stop served the Palm Garden apartments, opened in 1937.[3] The trestle was replaced by a concrete mixed mode (light rail and bus) bridge, still referred to as the Palm Garden Trestle which The T shares with the South Busway.
