Transit bulbs

The 2012-constructed inbound boarding bulb

The N Judah line runs on Carl Street; trains stop just before crossing Stanyan Street in each direction. In 2007, the SFMTA proposed an eastbound transit bulbs at the stop (plus two at nearby Carl and Cole station) to provide a larger boarding area and prevent passengers from having to cross a traffic lane. The project was approved in 2011 and constructed in 2012.[2] In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward). A variety of stop changes were proposed for the N Judah line, including a similar westbound bulbs at Stanyan.[3] Two subprojects - 28th Avenue, and Irving Street between 9th Avenue and Arguello - were selected for early implementation in coordination with rail replacement and seismic refitting of the Sunset Tunnel. The latter project (the Inner Sunset Streetscape Project), which also includes the new bulb at Stanyan, began construction during weekend shutdowns of the line in September 2017.[4]
