J Church Transfer Points at Market Street
New Temporary Ramps to Ease Transfers
Crews are finalizing the construction of temporary ramps to assist customers with additional mobility needs. One temporary ramp is located on the existing platform by Safeway, and another is located on the 200 block of Church just south of Market Street, serving as an outbound stop and connection for customers once the Muni Metro subway reopens.
In order to ensure efficient connections for passengers on both the 22 Fillmore and the J Church, that share the transit lanes along this route, we are discontinuing use of the southbound platform on Church Street at 14th Street. Instead, both services will utilize the nearby temporary stop being implemented just south of Market Street. We will continue to actively monitor the shared section of Church Street for these two routes and make adjustments as needed.
These temporary changes were reviewed and approved as measures under the Mayor's emergency shelter in place order, beginning in March 2020. We will undertake a review of this temporary J Church surface rail route and should we propose to make the changes permanent we will enter into a public process to work with all stakeholders.
