Drastic cut in travel times part of Muni’s ambitious long-term vision

7. Fifth solution, proposed by Ed Lee, of all people: BART extensions

The City is paying the same half-cent sales tax as the East Bay, you know.

My map (yes, I'm a transit geek ) shows one branching west from the main line after Civic Center, perhaps under Fell and Oak, with stations at Fillmore and Masonic, then under GG Park (could that be accomplished without digging up the park?) to Park Presidio, with a station at Geary/Clement and another, with parking, within the Presidio, which could serve as a terminal for commuter buses from Marin. Another branches east past 24th and Mission to a station somewhere near the Farmers' Market (possibly with parking), then eventually along Palou to Third, and conceivably to Hunters Point, depending on the density of development out there (I've got some ideas on that, too. )
