Construction starts week of January 23 on near-term Taraval improvements

Neighborhoods Affected
Route(s) Affected

The first phase of the L Taraval Rapid Project will begin construction the week of January 23.

The initial roadway changes rolling out aim to make Taraval safer and Muni’s L more reliable. These include:

  • “Clear zones” for safer train stops
  • Painted safety zones at sidewalk corners
  • Parking spaces converted for safety improvements
  • Painted boarding zones (six-month pilot)
  • Transit stop removal for faster Muni service
  • Transit-only lanes

During this first phase of construction, striping and grinding of paint may require closing one lane of traffic temporarily on individual blocks, but traffic will still be able to travel through Taraval throughout construction. Muni service will not be impacted. Weather permitting, we anticipate construction to be complete by the end of February.
