San Jose and Farallones station

San Jose and Farallones station is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View line, located in the Oceanview neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station has two side platforms (traffic islands) in the middle of San Jose Avenue. The platforms are not accessible. The station opened along with 3 other stops when the line was extended to Balboa Park station on August 30, 1980. [1]

In 2022, the SFMTA begin planning the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, a MuniForward project intended to improve reliability of the segment between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Initial proposals released that September called for the platforms at Farallones to be extended. [2] A revised proposal in May 2023 also called for the outbound platform to be moved to the north side of the intersection. [3] [4] A further revision in August 2023 moved the platform slightly further north, with a crosswalk to the sidewalk at the north end of the platform. [5] As of October 2023, "quick-build" implementation of some changes is expected to begin in late 2023, with main construction beginning in 2026. [6]
