Here's a photo of the stop which is being removed. I actually could see both this and a corner of the new platform standing where I took this photo, but it would take a very different camera angle to try to get both in the same photo.
The stop I've been posting about for months is "San Jose & Niagara Ave (outbound to Balboa Park)" mentioned in the linked web page. The stop being eliminated is the one before it (one short block away although not visible in my photos because of the hill/curve). I knew this stop was going away […]
