San Jose and Santa Rosa serves as a light rail stop on the Muni Metro J Church route, located within San Francisco's Mission Terrace district. The station consists of two brief side platforms situated on traffic islands amid San Jose Avenue, positioned just before the intersection for each travel direction. This stop lacks accessible features.
History
On August 31, 1991, J Church and N Judah trains began utilizing the San Jose Avenue extension for non-revenue carhouse moves. Although the extension was accessible to passengers at that time, full-time J Church service along this segment commenced later, on June 19, 1993.
As part of the 2014 Transit Effectiveness Project (subsequently renamed MuniForward), modifications to stops on the J Church line were proposed. These included extending the inbound platform toward Santa Rosa Avenue and shifting the outbound platform south of the intersection to allow trains to clear crossings before stopping. A 2015 study by SFMTA suggested installing accessible "key stop" ramps between Santa Ynez and Santa Rosa Avenues at San Juan Avenue (inbound) and Nantucket Avenue (outbound).
Planning efforts for the J Church Safety and Accessibility Project commenced in 2022. Initial proposals for key stop placements were considered inadequate due to their distance from existing platforms, and relocating boarding islands was determined to be impractical. Consequently, the plan now involves expanding and widening current platforms along with adding a key stop on the outbound side. This project received approval in October 2023, with construction expected between 2025 and 2027.
