Church and 26th Street is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro J Church line, located in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The stop has no platforms, trains stop at marked poles before crossing 26th Street and passengers cross a parking lane on Church Street to board trains. The stop is not accessible.
History
[edit]The J Church line opened on August 11, 1917.[1] By the early 2010s, trains stopped at Church and Clipper. 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. Under that plan, bulb-outs were to be built to serve as platforms for the Clipper stop.[2] A more limited preliminary project announced in November 2019 was to include some modifications to the stop.[3]
In October 2024, the SFMTA board approved plans to relocate the stop one half-block south to 26th Avenue. The stop was planned to be moved – along with the stop at 27th Street moving to 28th – by the end of 2024.[4][5] The stop was moved effective November 25, 2024.[6]
