San Jose and Mount Vernon station was a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View line, located in the Ingleside neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station had two side platforms (traffic islands) in the middle of San Jose Avenue; the inbound platform is located on a bridge over Interstate 280. The platforms were not accessible.
The station opened with the extension of the line to Balboa Park station on August 30, 1980.[1] In 2022, the SFMTA begin planning the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, a MuniForward project intended to improve reliability of the segment between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Initial proposals released that September called for the platforms at Mount Vernon to be extended.[2] A revised proposal in May 2023, however, called for the stop to be closed.[3][4] The station closed on September 28, 2024, along with the Ocean and Westgate / Ocean and Cerritos stations on the K Ingleside.[5]
