Third Street Light Rail Project

Features

As part of the project, the entire Third Street corridor was repaved and received new streetlights. Additionally, trees were planted, sidewalks reconstructed and the pavement on 3rd Street repaved. Stations along the route have a distinctive marquee pole with a sculpture or mobile.

Light rail vehicles (LRVs) operate in an exclusive right-of-way in the center of the street, except in the Bayview business district, to bypass vehicular congestion and increase speed along the line. LRV's will operate in mixed flow with other cars at the 4th Street Bridge and in a 10 block segment in the Bayview Area. The 4th Street bridge did not have enough room for an exclusive right-of-way. In the Bayview business district, parking was maintained on both sides of the street for customers of local merchants.

In addition, transit signal priority has been implemented along the entire corridor. The goal is to allow LRVs to have a green light at every intersection so they can travel from station to station without stopping.

Stations

19 new stations were built along the line. They consist of high platforms either built between the tracks or with one on each side, similar to the ones used by the N Judah along the Embarcadero. The stations are:
