Location

Randolph and Arch is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View line, located in the Ingleside Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The stop has no regular platforms; passengers cross a parking lane to board trains. Mini-high platforms for accessibility are located on the far side of Arch Street.

History

The M Ocean View line opened on October 6, 1925. The line was replaced with buses on August 6, 1939, but streetcar service resumed on December 17, 1944. [2]

In 2022, the SFMTA begin planning the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, a MuniForward project intended to improve reliability of the segment between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Initial proposals released that September did not call for any changes to Randolph and Arch. [3] A revised proposal in May 2023 called for transit bulbs long enough for the first car of trains. [4] [5] As of October 2023, "quick-build" implementation of some changes is expected to begin in late 2023, with main construction beginning in 2026. [6]
