The stop has very small traffic islands where trains stop before crossing Lakeview Avenue; most passengers cross a vehicle travel lane on San Jose Avenue to board or depart trains.

In 2022, the SFMTA begin planning the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, a MuniForward project intended to improve reliability of the segment between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Initial proposals released that September called for the platforms at Lakeview to be extended.[2] A revised proposal in May 2023 called for the extended platforms to be long enough for two-car trains.[3][4] As of October 2023, "quick-build" implementation of some changes is expected to begin in late 2023, with main construction beginning in 2026.[5]
