Reconstruction thumb|left|Two trains at the stop in September 2017 Like many stations on the line, 15th Avenue and Taraval had no platforms; trains stopped at marked poles before the cross street, and passengers crossed parking lanes to board. 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. Transit bulbs were to be added to the 15th Avenue and Taraval stop to allow passengers to board without crossing auto traffic; the inbound platform would be moved around the corner onto Taraval.60-62 On September 20, 2016, the SFMTA Board approved the L Taraval Rapid Project. Construction was to occur from 2018 to 2020.Rodriguez Joe Fitzgerald SFMTA approves controversial L-Taraval changes in name of safety http://www.sfexaminer.com/sfmta-approves-controversial-l-taraval-changes-name-safety/ September 11, 2017 San Francisco Examiner September 20, 2016 February 12, 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170212093617/http://www.sfexaminer.com/sfmta-approves-controversial-l-taraval-changes-name-safety/ dead https://www.sfmta.com/news/project-updates/l-taraval-rapid-project-approved-sfmta-board L Taraval Rapid Project Approved by SFMTA Board San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency September 20, 2016 As proposed in 2014, a bulb was to be added at the existing outbound stop location, with a second bulb at the relocated inbound stop.https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/L_Taraval_Boards_2016_Detail%20Boards_Web2.pdf L Taraval Proposal Detail 2016 San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency However, in January 2018, Muni offered a revised proposal in response to community pressure not to close the inbound stop at Taraval and 17th Avenue.
