History

[edit]

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 called for transit bulbs at Broad and Capitol.[3] A revised proposal in May 2023 kept this design.[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]
