The '''L Taraval''' is a [[light rail]] line of the [[Muni Metro]] system in [[San Francisco]], California, mainly serving the [[Parkside, San Francisco, California|Parkside District]]. While many streetcar lines were converted to bus lines after [[World War II]], the L Taraval remained a streetcar line due to its use of the [[Twin Peaks Tunnel]].

==Route description==
The line begins at [[Wawona and 46th Avenue station]] (near the [[San Francisco Zoo]]), which is on a one-way loop on Vicente Street, 47th Avenue, Wawona Street, and 46th Avenue. It runs north on 46th Avenue to Taraval Street, then runs east on Taraval Street to 15th Avenue. The line then runs south one block on 15th Avenue, then east on Ulloa Street to [[West Portal station]], where it joins with the other Muni Metro lines towards Embarcadero. 

=== Operation ===
Rail service runs on 10-minute headways on weekdays and 12-minute headways on weekends.<ref name=sept28 />

Service is provided by [[List of San Francisco Municipal Railway lines#Owl bus lines|overnight Owl buses]] during the hours that rail service is not running. The ''L Owl'' bus serves the full length of the route, as well as along [[Embarcadero (San Francisco)|The Embarcadero]] to [[Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco|Fisherman's Wharf]]. (The Embarcadero section was added on June 15, 2019, to provide Owl service along the [[F Market & Wharves]] route.)<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.sfmta.com/blog/hoot-hoot-muni-provide-additional-nighttime-service |title=Hoot Hoot – Muni to Provide Additional Nighttime Service |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency |date=June 10, 2019 |first=Benjamin |last=Barnett}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:TracksInCobblestoneAtTaravalAnd47th-1.jpg|thumb|left|The original end of the L Taraval line, before the 1937 extension south of Taraval Street, with tracks still in place but not normally used. These are the only tracks left in San Francisco that are embedded in [[sett (paving)|granite "Belgian block"]].]]
In June 1908, [[Market Street Railway (transit operator)|United Railroads]] (URR) subsidiary Parkside Transit Company laid a single-track line that ran on 20th Avenue from an existing line on H Street (now Lincoln Way) to Wawona Street, then on Wawona one block to 19th Avenue. A connecting shuttle line running from 20th Avenue on Taraval Street, 33rd Avenue, Vicente Street, and 35th Avenue to Sloat Boulevard (meeting the 12 Ocean line) was opened by 1910.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sfplanning.s3.amazonaws.com/archives/documents/4976-parkside-statement%20march%202008.pdf |title=San Francisco's Parkside District: 1905 - 1957 |first1=Richard |last1=Brandi |first2=Woody |last2=LaBounty |date=March 2008 |publisher=San Francisco Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development |pages=24, 30, 34–36}}</ref> This trackage, which saw irregular passenger service, formed a barrier to the continued expansion of the city-owned Municipal Railway into the Parkside district. On November 25, 1918, the city and the private URR signed the "Parkside Agreements", which allowed Muni streetcars to use URR trackage on Taraval Street and [[K Ingleside|on Ocean Avenue]] in exchange for a cash payment and shared maintenance costs.<ref name=perles>{{People's Railway}}</ref>{{rp|74}}

Muni's L Taraval line opened as a shuttle between West Portal and 33rd Avenue (on rebuilt URR trackage west of 20th Avenue) on April 12, 1919. Tracks were extended along Taraval to 48th Avenue at Ocean Beach by January 14, 1923 and on October 15, the shuttle service was replaced with larger streetcars running through to the [[San Francisco Ferry Building|Ferry Building]].<ref name=perles />{{rp|75}} The URR discontinued their service on the line in late 1927.<ref name=stindt>{{cite book |title=San Francisco's Century of Street Cars |first=Fred A. |last=Stindt |page=119, 192 |date=October 1990 |isbn=0961546514}}</ref> 

The L Taraval was extended south (turning off Taraval at 46th) to the [[San Francisco Zoo]], the line's current outer terminus, on September 15, 1937,<ref name="mckane-perles1982" /> leaving a two-block spur line on Taraval, that is used occasionally for temporary storage.<ref name="EndTrack">{{cite web |date=February 12, 2021 |title=End of (last original) track |url=https://www.streetcar.org/end-of-last-original-track/ |access-date=24 February 2022 |publisher=Market Street Railway}}</ref> 

Over the next decade, the line's eastern terminus changed a few times. On January 15, 1939, every other streetcar was routed to the new [[Transbay Terminal]]. On January 1, 1941, cars were rerouted back to the Ferry Building. The Transbay Terminal became the inner terminal for all streetcars on June 6, 1948.<ref name="stindt" />

By 1950, many streetcar lines in the city were converted to buses after [[World War II]], the L Taraval remained a streetcar line due to its use of the [[Twin Peaks Tunnel]].

The L was partially converted to modern [[light rail]] operation as part of the opening of the [[Muni Metro]] system in 1980.<ref name="mckane-perles1982">{{cite book |last1=McKane |first1=John |last2=Perles |first2=Anthony |title=Inside Muni: The Properties and Operations of the Municipal Railway of San Francisco |year=1982 |publisher=[[Interurban Press]] |location=Glendale, CA (US) |page=195 |isbn=0-916374-49-1}}</ref>

For its first 100 years in operation, the L Taraval operated similarly to a bus, with rail vehicles receiving no priority over any other vehicle, obeying all stop signs, and stopping frequently when requested or when flagged down by passengers waiting at marked stops on the sidewalk. Because the rails were in the center of a four-lane roadway, passengers boarding or exiting must cross an active traffic lane. Often, drivers would not stop for crossing passengers, leading to many being hit and injured getting off and on the L Taraval over the decades.

Starting in the early 2010s, Muni began proposing major changes to the L Taraval corridor to increase pedestrian safety and speed up trains, which would prove controversial. The plan, eventually named the L Taraval Improvement Project, would dedicate the center lanes to rail vehicles, consolidate stops, and, where stops remain, add boarding islands between the [[transit-only lane]] and the general traffic lane, giving passengers a protected area to exit or wait for the L Taraval. The project would also replace many of the stop signs along the route with traffic signals with [[Transit signal priority|transit priority]], add additional [[traffic calming]] measures like [[Curb extension|curb extensions]], replace the worn rails and overhead wire, along with sewer and water line replacements.

The plan was controversial because adding boarding islands would require the removal of street parking along Taraval, worrying nearby merchants, who feared less parking would reduce traffic in their businesses. The loss of parking along Taraval would be offset by moving parking spaces and meters to side streets and by converting side streets to angled parking to increase density.<ref name="RapidWebinar16">{{cite web |date=2016 |title=L Taraval Rapid Project Webinar |url=https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/Webinar_final.pdf |access-date=24 February 2022 |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency}}</ref>{{rp|3;9–11}} Seniors and some disability advocates were opposed to the removal of stops because it would require longer walks for some passengers. Other disability advocates supported the project because it would add accessible ramps at more stops.

Under pressure from these groups, Muni agreed to a pilot project in 2016 to see if better street markings would get more drivers to stop for crossing passengers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/Pilot%20explanation.pdf |title=Inbound Stop Pilot |date=2016 |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency |access-date=24 February 2022}}</ref> The pilot program was unsuccessful, showing only a two percent increase in drivers stopping behind trains.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rudick |first=Roger |date=2017-12-06 |title=Taraval to Get Boarding Islands at All Stops |url=https://sf.streetsblog.org/2017/12/06/taraval-to-get-boarding-islands-at-all-stops/ |access-date=2023-01-08 |website=Streetsblog San Francisco |language=en-US}}</ref> The final plan adds boarding islands at [[Taraval and 19th Avenue station|19th]], [[Taraval and 26th Avenue station|26th]], [[Taraval and 30th Avenue station|30th]], [[Taraval and 32nd Avenue station|32nd]], [[Taraval and 40th Avenue station|40th]], [[Taraval and 42nd Avenue station|42nd]], [[Taraval and 44th Avenue station|44th]], and [[Taraval and 46th Avenue station|46th (westbound only)]], along with an extension of the existing islands at Sunset and 22nd/23rd Avenues.<ref name="RapidWebinar16" />{{rp|16–24}} Stops were removed in 2017 and 2018 at [[Ulloa and 15th Avenue station|15th Avenue]], [[Taraval and 17th Avenue station|17th (westbound)]], [[Taraval and 22nd Avenue station|22nd (westbound)]], [[Taraval and 24th Avenue station|24th (eastbound)]], [[Taraval and 28th Avenue station|28th]], and [[Taraval and 35th Avenue station|35th]].<ref name="RapidWebinar16" />{{rp|19, 21}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Revised L Stop Proposals |url=https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/Revised%20L%20Stop%20Proposals_0.pdf |access-date=24 February 2022 |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency}}</ref>
