Two bus stop changes will take effect in West Portal on Saturday, October 19.
We are removing the 57 Parkmerced stop at Vicente St & West Portal Ave. This change was suggested through community feedback to improve safety and traffic operations at this intersection. Riders who use this stop can use alternate stops at West Portal Ave & 14th Ave or Ulloa St & West Portal Ave. Both alternative stops are one block away. This bus zone space will be repurposed with two new parking spaces, one general metered space and one accessible blue zone.
The 91 Owl terminal at West Portal Station will be relocated across Ulloa Street to the south side of the street between West Portal Avenue and Claremont Boulevard. This new stop location is where the 48 Quintara-24th Street stops during the daytime. This change will take place in advance of the upcoming redesign of the half circle outside the West Portal Station, known as the “horseshoe.” The redesign will include elements including planters, a bikeshare station and a street mural. This change will also result in a minor reroute of the 91 Owl to run along Ulloa Street eastbound, Claremont Boulevard southbound and Vicente Street westbound as shown in the below map.
These changes are part of the West Portal Station Safety and Community Space Improvements Project. Sign up to receive project updates to receive all project news.
