Rail Improvement Project Starting in Sunset District

In an effort to maintain and improve Muni rail service, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which operates Muni, will soon start rail replacement at the following intersections in the Sunset District. As a result, the work will affect N Judah rail service:

Intersections

Dates

Construction Hours

Judah Street at 19th Avenue and

Judah Street at Sunset Boulevard

Weekends of

Nov. 13, 20 and Dec. 4

From 8 p.m. Friday continuously until 4 a.m. the following Monday

Schedule subject to change due to weather conditions.

Sometime in 2010, the SFMTA will continue the Rail Improvement Project at the intersections of Taraval at 19th Avenue and Taraval at Sunset Boulevard, and then Church Street at 18th Street, San Jose Street at 30th Street and Church Street at 30th Street.

In addition to replacing and repairing aging Muni streetcar tracks and track components, the project will also include long-overdue enhancements to the surrounding area such as street repaving and restriping, sidewalk improvements and upgraded water lines. The repairs to the tracks will benefit neighbors as well as Muni customers by abating the noise and vibration from the streetcars.

The Rail Improvement Project will provide a critical system upgrade as part of the ongoing capital improvement program managed by the SFMTA. It is a significant reinvestment in renewing the infrastructure in order to ensure that the system is safer, more efficient and reliable.

Attention N Judah Customers:

  • On the weekends of Nov. 13, 20 and Dec. 4, the regular N Judah service will end at Church and Duboce streets. From there, Muni bus shuttles will substitute for rail service to deliver customers to the end of the line at Ocean Beach/La Playa. Customers can get on and off the shuttle bus at all regular N Line stops except the stops around the construction site.

A Reminder to Neighbors:

  • Residents close to the construction site may be subject to some evening noise during construction.
  • Access to driveways will be maintained during street closures, although there may be some delays due to the construction sequence.  
  • Some street parking will be temporarily unavailable in and around the construction areas.
  • Sidewalks will remain open to foot traffic at all times. Customers will have access to local businesses while construction is underway.  

Motorist Alert:

  • During construction hours, Judah Street will be closed to through traffic in both directions at 19th Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. Follow detour signs for alternate routes.
  • Track work requires one direction to be closed on 19th Avenue and Sunset Boulevard at Judah Street. Police officers will be on site detouring traffic onto parallel streets during construction.
  • Slow traffic is expected around the construction sites. The SFMTA advises motorists to use alternate routes.

The SFMTA thanks you for your continued support.
