Extension of F-Line Streetcar Service to Fort Mason Center

On March 18, 2011, the National Park Service released the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the extension of the F-Line Muni streetcar to Fort Mason Center. The project would lengthen the streetcar line from its existing terminus at Fisherman’s Wharf to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and on to the Fort Mason Center parking lot. The
DEIS presents and analyzes the potential consequences of implementing selected alternatives.
