16th Street Mission station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station located under Mission Street at 16th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.

Station design[]
The arched mezzanine of the station
16th Street Mission station has two escalator and stair banks at the northeast and southwest corners of the intersection, which lead to a mezzanine under the intersection. A single row of faregates connects to a vaulted paid mezzanine centered over the platform area.[3] The station has a single island platform serving two tracks. 24th Street Mission station has an identical design.[4] Both stations have concrete reliefs by William Mitchell on the walls of their entrances, as well as colorful tilework on the mezzanine and platform levels.[5]
An early-2000s renovation of the southwest plaza added several additional art pieces. These include Palaza del Colibri by Victor Mario Zaballa - colorful metal railings depicting hummingbirds - and Future Roads by Jos Sances and Daniel Galvez, a screen printed tile mural around the entrance.[6][7]
