Ulloa and Forest Side is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro L Taraval line, located in the Parkside neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station opened with the first section of the L Taraval line on April 12, 1919.

Proposed changes

The stop will be moved one block to 14th Avenue (pictured)

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 L Taraval line. Ulloa and Forest Side was outside the scope of the project, but nearby Ulloa and 15th Avenue station was closed in February during early implementation of project elements.[2][3] In January 2018, amid controversy over the potential removal of Taraval and 17th Avenue station, Muni released a revised proposal under which Ulloa and Forest Side would be moved one block west to Ulloa and 14th Avenue to compensate for the removal of the inbound stop at 15th Avenue and Taraval station.[4] The SFMTA Board approved the plan in July 2018.[5]
