Martin Villa was one of eleven stops closed on June 25, 2012 as part of a system-wide consolidation effort.[1]

History

The stop dated back to the PCC streetcar era, being at the transition between center street and off street reserved right of way.[2]

gollark: I have devised a possible solution:- do the virtual channel thing- when a Discord channel is added to a virtual channel, it checks which ones are already connected- these are added to a lookup table of some sort for inter-VC bridging - all the channels which are currently causing inter-VC bridging are stored- when a message is somethinged on a virtual channel, it is bridged based on the lookup table- when a virtual channel is unlinked from a real channel it removes it from the lookup table- when the lookup table entry for the inter-virtual-channel link contains 0 items, bridging stops
gollark: I have stuff in place for this anyway. I just want a nicer solution.
gollark: Your solution is bad.
gollark: Yes, yours specifically, [MEMETIC GLYPH CREATING IMPRESSION OF YOUR NAME].
gollark: Your input WILL be requested until I get a nice solution for this somehow.
