West Portal Station is a
Muni Metro station in the West Portal
neighborhood in San Francisco, California
. It is built around the entrance to the
Twin Peaks
Tunnel
, which connects with the Market Street Subway and runs through
the city to the Embarcadero
. The station consists of two
side platforms with
turnstiles at each end that connects to the
street.
The station originally was similar to a regular curbside stop at
the entrance to the tunnel, but when the Metro system was built in
the late 1970s the existing
metro
station was built in its place.
On
July 18,
2009, the
West Portal station was the scene of a collision between a K and L
