Location

The station has suffered flooding during heavy rainstorms, including one in October 2009, and another in December 2014 which damaged an electrical equipment room.[2][3] In February 2017, the SFMTA signed a $1.9 million contract to repair water-damaged wiring in the room.[4]

Under the proposed western variant of the planned Better Market Street project, the outbound F stop would be moved across the intersection.[5]
