24th Street Mission station has two escalator and stair banks at the northeast and southwest corners of the intersection, which lead to a mezzanine under the intersection. A single row of fare gates connects to a vaulted paid mezzanine centered over the platform area.[2] The station has a single island platform serving two tracks. 16th Street Mission station has an identical design.[3] Both stations have concrete reliefs by William Mitchell on the walls of their entrances, as well as colorful tilework on the mezzanine and platform levels.[4]
History
Service at the station began on November 5, 1973.[5]
BART began planning a renovation of the southwest entrance plaza in 2001. The $4.2 million project broke ground in April 2013 and was completed in January 2014.[6]
From September 20, 2020, to March 21, 2021, and from August 2, 2021, 24th Street Mission became the terminal for Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City line trains during single-tracking work on some Sundays.[7][8]
On July 20, 2022, BART temporarily fenced off the plazas at the station for a planned 60 days, while retaining access to the station. The closure was requested by San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen in response to reported selling of stolen goods at the plazas.[9]
