Freeways and arterials in the Mid-Coast corridor were generally congested, and traffic congestion was projected to increase as the region grew. The Mid-Coast Trolley extension provided an effective alternative to congested freeways and roadways for travelers, improved public transit services, and enhanced travel options by connecting the corridor with areas served by the existing Trolley system.

​

The project extended the Trolley Blue Line service 10 miles from the Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego north to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and Westfield UTC. The extension also added nine new stations: Tecolote Road, Clairemont Drive, Balboa Avenue, Nobel Drive, VA Medical Center, Pepper Canyon (serving UCSD west campus), Voigt Drive (serving UCSD east campus), Executive Drive, and the terminus station at the Westfield UTC transit center.
