Location

Union Square/Market Street station[2] is an under-construction underground light rail station of the San Francisco Municipal Railway's Muni Metro system. It is located on the corners of Stockton, and O'Farrell and Market streets in Financial District, San Francisco about a block away from Union Square. 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 scheduled to open for public service in Fall 2022.[3]

The Union Square/Market Street Station will connect to the existing Powell Street station mezzanine level through an underground concourse, allowing for transfers to BART and Muni lines, the Powell Street cable car lines, and Muni bus routes in the area.[4]

The station's north entrance is on the southeast corner of Union Square; the Stockton entrance was purchased from BART for one dollar.[5]

Construction[]

Station excavation was completed by July 2017, and concrete was poured for the station floor.[6]

Stockton Street reopened between Geary Street and Ellis Street on February 22, 2019. Muni route 8/8AX/8BX and 91 buses returned to lower Stockton Street and 4th Street on February 25; route 30X and 45 trolleybuses returned on April 13 after overhead wires were re-installed.[7][8]
