SFMTA RAIL CAPACITY STRATEGY Rail Investment Opportunities by Priority Focus Area

Focus Area Solution Focus Area Solution 5 Car Castro-embarcadero shuttle Creation of a Evans Ave-Bayview-Sunnydale-Candlestick Line Additional Police enforcement Double deck the Kirkland yard Divert passengers from F Line to Extend Central Subway down Lombard to the Golden Gate Bridge Double berthing in subway H line from Marina to Hunters Point Double at Duboce LRT expansion onto Geary and Van Ness into protected ROW Grade separate M More maintenance facilities should be more frequent Subway stop at art museums in GGP L needs dedicated ROW in the Sunset T loop in Mission Bay M Spine to 4th and King Rail on South Van Ness to Hunter's Point Make J Church a streetcar on surface of Market Extend T to Bayshore Baylands Separated ROW on T line to Bayview Extend F to The Presidio Transit priority on Duboce between West Portal and T third should go around the horn to the Embarcadero Enhance Existing Lines Existing Enhance Connect Sunset tunnel underground to Market St subway Create rail extensions on Geary Restrict autos on Market St Create rail on 19th St from Daly City to GGB Site new routes or those that have the most mixed traffic conflicts underground Create rail on Van Ness North of Market Increase capacity on street for J,K,L,N,M up to 4 car trains Create Geary-Soma-BART-East Bay line Transit signal priority for existing routes above ground outer J, K, L, N, T Extend for downtown connection Run J out to cover western portion of M to ParkMerced Connect Central Subway to Fisherman's Wharf Create N connection through 16th street to Mission Bay Improve turn around at Embarcadero Rail to replace 22 Fillmore Maintenance track should be added in subway Create downtown circulator

Platforms on both sides in Subway System Rail Light the Expand/Extend Ring on Lombard, or Geary Pocket track after Castro Reroute J thru SOMA Pocket track around Glen Park Rail on Geneva to connect Green and MME, Balboa to T line Restrict autos at Duboce and Church Create USF-UCSF-Daly City connection Four car stations at West Portal and Forest Hill Create express rail bypass tracks 4th and King intersection improvements High speed shuttles to Embarcadero from West Portal Church and Duboce bike flyover or north side bike lane 2nd for BART, Caltrain, HSR, and Amtrak

Open Bottlenecks Incremental station expansion Extend J to 3rd st and/or Caltrain via 16th st L Turnaround capacity and flexibility improvements Extend F to Fort Mason Bayshore intermodal station Add maintenance facilities at Pier 80 Update ATCS in portals & subway Extend T service to Brisbane Fix J, K, and M Line terminals at Balboa Park and improve intermodal connections Spur from T to Hunters Point

Increase/install storage at Far Yard Vehicles should have perimeter/longitudinal seating Rail on Geneva to connect Green and MME, Balboa to T line Increase Light Rail Vehicle fleet size Ring on Lombard, California or Geary Bicycles on LRVs Create N connection through 16th street to Mission Bay Increase historic vehicle fleet Allow LRVs to operate on Market Street during emergencies/Subway shutdowns Connect L and N line terminals or via Sunset Improve and expand connections between lines so all five don’t need to go through the Market St tunnel Expand the LRV Fleet Expand the LRV Build System Resiliency System Build M-Line to Daly City Reroute J thru SOMA Rail Capacity Strategy Workshop #1 Results
