SFMTA is proposing to construct two wheelchair accessible platforms to serve the N Judah on Judah at 28th Ave at the location of the current boarding islands. The new platforms will improve access to rail service for people with disabilities by filling a large gap between accessible platforms. Additional improvements will include the construction of longer boarding islands and compliant curb ramps. The extended low-level boarding islands will cover the full length of a two-car train, allowing customers to get on and off trains from a platform rather than a traffic lane. The low-level islands will be 6” high, but will be lowered to 2” where there are driveways to facilitate turning movements.
In order to accommodate the accessible ramps and platforms, the existing no-parking zones along the existing island stops will need to be extended. Four on-street parking spaces will need to be eliminated at each stop location, for a total of eight spaces between 27th and 29th Avenues. To offset the elimination of parking, one parking space on 26th Avenue and one parking space on 31st Avenue would be added by converting the existing parallel parking to 45-degree angled parking near Judah Street.
