In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the J Church line. No changes were proposed for the stops at 29th Avenue and Day.^[3] In 2020, Muni proposed to close the inbound stop at 29th Street in favor of the stop at 30th Street.^[4]
