Location

4th and Brannan station[1] is an at-grade light rail station of the San Francisco Municipal Railway's Muni Metro system that is under construction. It will be an island platform located on the corner of 4th and Brannan streets in the South of Market, San Francisco (SoMa) district.[2] Its construction is part of the Central Subway Project and it will be a future station on the T Third Street line. The station is projected to open for public service in Spring 2022.[3]

Station design[]

Originally, the station and its adjacent trackway were designed with an exclusive train-only lane on the platform's eastern side and a mixed traffic lane on the western side. The station was subsequently redesigned with exclusive lanes on both sides of the platform, enabling trains to proceed faster through the 4th and Bryant intersection preceding the station.[4]

A stainless steel kinetic sculpture by Moto Ohtake, entitled Microcosmic, was installed at the station in November 2019. Designed to move when blown by the wind, it was the first of ten artworks to be installed in the Central Subway project.[5]
