The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which oversees the Municipal Railway (Muni), advises Muni customers about its ongoing state of good repair work on the Muni Metro system. Over the course of the next seven weeks, the SFMTA will replace the metal roll-up station entrance doors at the Castro, Church and Van Ness Muni Metro stations. At least one entrance will be available at all stations during the work.

From Monday, Aug. 15 through Friday, Aug. 19, the north entrance of Castro Station will be closed. During that time Muni service will not be affected. Muni customers will be able to enter and exit the station from the south entrance at Harvey Milk Plaza or via the accessible service elevator on the north side of Market Street at 17th Street.

The door replacement at Church and Van Ness stations will take place according to the following schedule:

• Church Street Station – north entrance Begins Monday, Aug. 22
