L Taraval Improvement Project Scheduled To Continue January 2022

We thank the community for their patience with the L Taraval Improvement Project. We will continue with improvements along the L Taraval line’s vital infrastructure improvements and upgrades beginning in January 2022.

As we proceed with construction, we will apply lessons learned from Segment A to lessen the impact of construction to the community.

What is the L Taraval Improvement Project?

The L Taraval Improvement Project is a multi-agency collaboration with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Public Works to improve and upgrade the aging infrastructure to make pedestrian crossing safer, increase accessibility, improve transit reliability, rehabilitate water and sewer infrastructure, enhance landscaping and replace road pavement along the L Taraval line.  The project was split into two segments A and B.

Segment A included 46th Ave. to Sunset Blvd. and was completed in July 2021  

Segment B will continue with the same infrastructure improvements from Sunset Blvd. to West Portal

What to Expect!

Improvements will continue along the L Taraval line from Sunset Blvd. to 15th Ave., and on Ulloa St. near West Portal:

• Construction is slated to begin in January 2022 and last through 2024
• Construction will occur in phases to minimize long-term disruptions
• Work hours are Monday – Friday, 7 a.m.- 5 p.m. with occasional weekend work ** subject to change based on construction needs
• Substitution of Muni rail service with bus shuttles during portions of the project

Permanent stop changes will be added to improve safety and reliability:

• Taraval St. and 17th Ave. (eastbound) will be relocated from the near side to the far side of the intersection once the new island is constructed
• 15th Ave. and Taraval St. (eastbound) will be removed once the boarding island at 17th Ave. is constructed
• Ulloa St. and Forest Side Blvd. (westbound and eastbound) will be relocated to Ulloa St. and 14th Ave.

Using community input, equipment staging locations were identified for segment B:

• Santiago St. between 22nd and 24th avenues
• 20th Ave. between Ulloa and Wawona streets
• Wawona St. between 21st and 23rd avenues
• 36th Ave. between Taraval and Ulloa streets
