Rail yard / station
Balboa Park Station / Green Yard (rail yard / station, run by the Municipal Transportation Agency): $1.5B budgeted for its department in FY2025, 6,381 employees on the payroll, 6 city documents at the Internet Archive, every figure linked to its source. Balboa Park Station and its adjacent Curtis E. Green Light Rail Center rail yard appear across transit-planning and board records. The 2002 Balboa Park Station Area Plan aims to remake the underutilized station into a transit hub; a 2009 SFMTA project follows up on pedestrian and bicycle access. A 1994 Budget Committee memo places the Green Light Rail Center at 425 Geneva Street as the primary storage for light rail vehicles, holding a maximum of 142. MTA board records authorize Contract No. 1249 for track replacement, not to exceed $31,197,197, and accept a $702,921.38 emergency switch-replacement contract. The station and yard are operated by the Municipal Transportation Agency, whose FY2025 budget line totals about $1.5B. Source: SF Controller open data and the Internet Archive.

No city spending is recorded against this place by name. San Francisco publishes contracts, bond items and vendor payments at project level, and none of them names this site — so there is no figure to show, rather than a figure of zero.
Run by the Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni), whose whole-department budget is $1.5B across 6,381 staff (FY2025) — citywide, not this place’s own. The City does not publish a running cost per building.
