Beginning Monday, September 16, Public Works crews will begin construction on an upgraded quick-build boarding island for the K Ingleside outbound stop (toward Balboa Park) at Ocean Ave & Victoria St.
We expect this construction to last about a week, and we expect construction to take place between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. every day.
This construction is part of our work to lengthen and widen boarding islands for the K Ingleside at four stops, which will improve accessibility and safety for riders.
Once all are upgraded, we will operate two-car trains on the K Ingleside, doubling capacity on Ocean Avenue and removing delay at West Portal.
Muni Service Impacts:
- The outbound Ocean Ave & Victoria St stop (toward Balboa Park) will be out of service during this construction. During this construction, riders can use the Ocean Ave & Jules Ave stop.
- All inbound stops (toward Embarcadero Station) remain in service.
Traffic Impacts:
- While the island is under construction, Ocean Avenue traffic will be limited to one eastbound lane on the affected block. However, there is no planned impact to traffic in the other direction. Drivers should use caution and be mindful of workers directing traffic.
Parking impacts:
- In advance of construction, we have planned permanent parking removals at this stop.
- Additional temporary impacts to parking are also likely. Please watch for signs.
Noise impacts:
- There may be some noise during brief excavation work.
Longer, wider stops nearby now in service
Construction at both stops at Ocean Ave & Aptos Ave and at the outbound stops at Ocean Ave & San Leandro Way and Ocean Ave & Miramar Ave has been completed, and these upgraded stops are now in service.
This quick-build implementation follows the SFMTA Board’s approval of the K Ingleside Rapid Project in March 2024. We expect to implement more quick-build improvements later this fall.
