"Getting on and off Muni safely was a common concern riders shared with us during project outreach," the agency said in an announcement. "From 2017-2022, an average of two people per year were hit by cars while getting on or off the M Ocean View in the project area."
The M-Line will continue to operate during construction, but riders will have to use nearby stops. The M has about 20,000 daily boardings, down from 30,000 before the pandemic.
Rebuilding the boarding islands will cost the removal of a total of four street parking spaces.
