Lincoln / Cypress (Los Angeles Metro Station)
Lincoln/Cypress Station is an elevated light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It is located at the intersection of Lacy Street and Avenue 26, in the Cypress Park and Lincoln Heights neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. The station is served by the Gold Line.
The station features a free park-and-ride lot, and a statue of Los Angeles' first municipal worker, a woman who worked as a water carrier for the community.
During the construction and planning stages, Lincoln/Cypress station was originally planned to be named Avenue 26 station, named for nearby Avenue 26. It was one of three stations to be renamed shortly before the lines opening. It was then renamed Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park, to reflect the neighborhoods that are served by the station. Metro now refers to the station using the shorter Lincoln/Cypress.
