Update: M Ocean View Bus Substitutions for Safety and Transit Improvements
Work has begun on the pedestrian safety improvements in and near 19th Avenue and Junipero Serra, along Muni's M Ocean View line. The work near the tracks on four weekends starting Oct. 28 will require M service to be substituted by buses. The track replacement and other planned work on 19th between Winston and Eucalyptus drives has been postponed until 2018.
Improvements being made include building a new pedestrian island crossing on 19th Avenue at Junipero Serra Boulevard, installing vehicle safety measures at the track entrance, and upgrading traffic signals.
Location
The intersection of 19th Avenue and Junipero Serra Boulevard will be undergoing improvements.
M Ocean View Bus Service
Weekend bus substitutes will run on the following weekends:
- October 28-30
- November 4-6
- November 11-13

On four weekends, M train service will be substituted by buses. From start of service Saturdays until the start of regular train service Monday mornings, buses will run between West Portal and Balboa Park stations. Trains will resume regular service on Monday mornings. Muni customers may check Nextbus for bus arrivals times and should plan for more travel time.
