Right Of Way/21st Street station
Right Of Way/21st Street is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro J Church line, located in the Dolores Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The stop, which opened with the line on August 11, 1917, is located on a short rail-only right of way that allows the line to avoid the steep hill on Church Street to the west. The stop has a pair of side platforms located south of 21st Street on a sharp curve. A shelter on the inbound platform - a stucco structure with tile roof that Muni built many of in its early years - was boarded up around 2010.
