History
Service on the J Church line commenced on August 11, 1917.[1] By the early 2010s, trains were making stops at Church and Clipper. In March 2014, Muni introduced the Transit Effectiveness Project (later renamed MuniForward), which proposed constructing bus bulb-outs to function as platforms at the Clipper location.[2] An initial plan released in November 2019 outlined certain changes to this stop.[3]
In October 2024, the SFMTA board authorized moving the stop approximately half a block southward to 26th Avenue. This adjustment, together with relocating the stop at 27th Street to 28th Street, was planned for completion by the end of that year.[4][5] The relocation officially took place on November 25, 2024.[6]
