The L Taraval Improvement Project is a multi-agency collaboration to improve safety, accessibility, and transit reliability, and to rehabilitate aging rails, utility lines and roadway pavement along the L Taraval line between Sunset Boulevard and 15th Avenue and on Ulloa Street near West Portal.
The L Taraval Improvement Project is on track to be completed this fall. The most disruptive work to replace sewer, water, rail lines, streetbase and repaving the entire corridor has been completed.
We are completing installation of boarding islands with railing and pavers, and adding landscaping, artwork and safety features such as high-visibility crosswalks. The traffic lights are complete and started three color operation at 17th, 18th, 22nd, 24th and 28th avenues.
To ensure the safety of the public, a permit is required for any contractors that are planning to work within 10 feet of the overhead wires. Please reach out to the project team with any questions: LTaravalProject@SFMTA.com or 415.646.2379.
Construction work is being performed at the following locations:
Taraval Street
- 16th, 17th, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 36th avenues: Install and paint guard rails, pavers and landscaping in planters in boarding islands

Masks Recommended
Masks are no longer required, but are encouraged in any SFMTA facilities, transit hubs or on vehicles including Muni buses, streetcars, light rail vehicles or cable cars or in taxis or on paratransit.
ONGOING: Improved Muni service begins on Saturday, Aug. 17
Starting Saturday, Aug. 17, the SFMTA will make changes on some Muni routes to:
- Improve reliability
- Address crowding
- Respond to rider and operator feedback
- Relieving crowding in advance of the school year
In recent months, some of the busiest routes were so crowded that they were too full to accept more riders. This forced Muni buses to pass up waiting riders – especially during morning commute times. To avoid pass-ups, the SFMTA will make a few changes as the school year approaches, including:
- 48 Quintara-24th Street and 28R 19th Avenue Rapid: More buses in the morning.
- 9 San Bruno: More room for riders on weekends.
- 1 California: New schedule to reduce crowding on the route’s busiest stretch.
- Making trips safer and more reliable through planned transit and safety projects
- The SFMTA is also making changes that will complete transit and safety projects and changing some stops and routes to enhance traffic safety, decrease travel times and improve reliability.
For additional service details and impacted routes, visit our latest service changes blog (SFMTA.com/ServiceChanges).
