19th Avenue and Randolph station serves as a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View route, situated within San Francisco's Ingleside district. This stop does not have dedicated platforms; instead, trains pause at designated poles just before crossing Randolph Street. Passengers must cross a parking lane along 19th Avenue to board the train. The station is currently not equipped for accessible boarding.
History
The M Ocean View line commenced operations on October 6, 1925. On August 6, 1939, streetcar service was suspended and replaced by bus transit, but rail service was reinstated on December 17, 1944.
In 2022, the SFMTA launched the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, part of the MuniForward initiative aimed at improving service dependability between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Early designs proposed merging the inbound stops at Junipero Serra and Randolph into a single location near Sargent Street. A revised plan released in August 2023 suggested establishing one outbound stop directly across from the combined inbound stop. This updated layout includes boarding islands capable of accommodating two-car trains, separated from the curb by bike lanes. Additionally, mini-high platforms were introduced in this plan to enhance accessibility. As of October 2023, some elements of the project are slated for "quick-build" deployment by late 2023, with full-scale construction planned to begin in 2026.
