Tracking the T-Third Line

The new T-Third Muni light-rail line provides the neighborhoods of Mission Bay, Potrero Hill, Bayview, Hunters Point and Visitacion Valley with a vital link to the larger San Francisco urban network. The line extends from the Sunnydale Avenue terminus in the south all the way to the Castro Station, replacing N-Judah service between 4th and King Streets and the Embarcadero Station.

“This is the first leg of a two-phase extension,” explained MTC Executive Director Steve Heminger. “The second phase is the $1.4 billion Central Subway project, which is one of our candidates for federal New Starts funding.” That project will add a 1.7-mile underground light-rail link from the Caltrain terminal at Fourth and King streets to Chinatown along an alignment below Fourth and Stockton streets, with three underground subway stations at Moscone Center, Union Square/Market Street and Chinatown.
