Public Hearing: Proposed Temporary Street Changes Near West Portal

Effective Date

Friday, July 31, 2020 - 12:00pm

This is a rescheduled Public Hearing due to technical difficulties at an earlier Public Hearing.

The West Portal LK Transfer Project is proposing changes near West Portal Station to facilitate Muni Metro’s new rail configuration. The aim is to support accessible transfers for customers transferring between the new surface-only LK line and the subway. As an emergency project to support rail service, the changes are temporary and will be evaluated through data monitoring and community feedback. They would be automatically removed 120 days after the emergency order is lifted, unless there is a public process to make the improvements permanent.
