Construction begins at Balboa Park Station 5/31

We will begin work on the Balboa Park Eastside Connection Project on Tuesday, May 31, 2016. This project will improve accessibility, convenience, visibility, and safety for customers using the station. The work is expected to be completed in 2018.

  • This project will provide an accessible connection from the west side to the east side of the station. This pathway will also connect to a new entrance on the east side of the station where the ticket vending machines are located.
  • This project will provide an upgraded accessible MUNI stop where the current MUNI tracks are located.
  • This project will provide a new canopy structure.

There will be a temporary storage room built inside the station near the Ocean Avenue entrance. It will extend 14 feet from the wall and leave an accessible path for customers available at all times. Two other storage areas will be located in areas outside the station closer to Ocean Avenue, but should not affect access.

We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause you and appreciate your patience.
