context_page_description: Taraval and Sunset is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro L Taraval line, located in the Parkside neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station opened with the second section of the L Taraval line on January 14, 1923.
context_section_description: The station is located at the intersection of Taraval Street with the Sunset Boulevard parkway, which is flanked by 37th Avenue on the west and 36th Avenue on the east. The station has the same layout as Judah and Sunset: a curb-level inbound platform is located between 37th Avenue and Sunset, with the accessible mini-high platform west of 37th Avenue. Both the curb-level and accessible portions of the outbound platform are located between Sunset and 36th Avenue.
  In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the L Taraval line. Because Taraval and Sunset already had platforms - unlike most stops on the line - no changes to the stop were proposed.
  On September 20, 2016, the SFMTA Board approved the L Taraval Rapid Project. The current platforms will be extended to the full length of a train, necessitating left-turn prohibitions at 36th and 37th Avenues. Service west of Sunset was temporarily replaced by buses beginning on August 22, 2020, to allow construction of the L Taraval Rapid project.
