Bart station1/4/2023 ![]() Transbay Terminal pedestrian connection to Embarcadero Station: Once the new Transbay Terminal is complete, a tunnel running beneath Beale Street will connect the two stations, creating a unified transfer point between regional and local lines.įort Mason Tunnel Rebuild: This project involves reconstructing the existing (now unused) tunnel between the western end of Fisherman’s Wharf (at Aquatic Park) and Fort Mason. In tandem, the portion of I-280 which touches down near AT&T park would be demolished and replaced with a wide boulevard, similar to Octavia after the removal of the Central Freeway and the Embarcadero after the removal of the Embarcadero Freeway following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. A recent proposal, shown on the BART Metro Map, reroutes Caltrain into a tunnel under 3rd Street and through Mission Bay to reach downtown. The Caltrain Downtown Extension (“ DTX”) will take Caltrain from its current terminus at 4th and King to the new Transbay Terminal downtown.

Proposals for an extension of the tunnel through North Beach (the portion to North Beach has actually already been built due to engineering requirements of the original project, making this stretch relatively easy to build) to Fisherman’s Wharf and to the Marina are shown here. Northern San Francisco portion of the BART Metro MapĬompletion of the Central Subway: The segment of the Central Subway from Brannan through Union Square to Chinatown is currently nearing completion. Jump below for a comprehensive list of the projects referenced in this map, as well as an explanation of the style. You can also take a look at SPUR’s hypothetical unified Bay Area rail map and CalUrbanist’s map of current regional rail. I’ve created this map to help people understand what is being considered and what our transit future could look like with more funding and more commitment from local governments. Although proposals and plans have sprung up left and right to augment transit capacity and service in the 9 counties, in isolation it can be difficult to visualize how these different projects would improve transportation in the Bay. In addition, as the population in nearly every city around the Bay grows, it is clear that our current infrastructure is inadequate to handle future growth, much less the recent tech boom. The lack of coordination and the competition for funds costs our region economically both in terms of inefficient government spending on poorly planned routes, and lost productivity due to poor service for commuters. ![]() ![]() The Bay Area has over two dozen different transit agencies.
