Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for Extension of F–Line Streetcar 

Service to Fort Mason Center, San 

Francisco, CA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Extension of F–Line Streetcar 

Service to Fort Mason Center, San 

Francisco, California. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park 

Service announces availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(Final EIS) for the extension of the 

historic streetcar F-line from 

Fisherman’s Wharf to the Fort Mason 

Center, in San Francisco, California. 

DATES: The National Park Service (NPS) 

will execute a Record of Decision (ROD) 

not sooner than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register by 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) of its notice of filing of the Final 

EIS. 

ADDRESSES: The Final EIS is available 

for public inspection as follows: at the 

Office of the Superintendent, Golden 

Gate National Recreation Area (Bldg. 

201 Fort Mason, San Francisco, 

California), and at local public libraries 

as noted on the Project Web site http:// 

parkplanning.np.gov/goga. An 

electronic version may also be accessed 

at the Project Web site. For further 

information, please contact Mr. Steve 

Ortega, Bldg. 201 Fort Mason, San 

Francisco, CA 94123–0022 (415) 561– 

2841 or steve_ortega@nps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed action would extend the 

historic streetcar F-line from 

Fisherman’s Wharf to the San Francisco 

Maritime National Historical Park (SF 

Maritime NHP) and to the Fort Mason 

Center in the Golden Gate National 

Recreation Area (GGNRA). The intended 

effect of the proposed action is to 

provide park visitors and transitdependent residents with high-quality 

rail transit that improves transportation 

access and mobility between existing 

streetcar service at Fisherman’s Wharf 

and SF Maritime NHP and the Fort 

Mason Center in GGNRA, with 

connection to the regional transit rail 

services. The Final EIS evaluates 

potential environmental consequences 

of implementing the alternatives. Impact 

topics include the cultural, natural, and 

socioeconomic environments. 

The proposed action is the 

culmination of a cooperative effort by 

the National Park Service, the San 

Francisco Municipal Transportation 

Agency (SFMTA), and the Federal 

Transit Administration. Studies from 

these agencies identified a need for 

improved regional and local transit 

connectivity between the identified 

urban national parks and existing transit 

infrastructure. Transit improvements 

between these parks would help 

accommodate existing and future visitor 

demand and enhance operational 

effectiveness. Based on the agency 

studies, conceptual approaches to 

address alternative transportation needs 

were identified and evaluated against 

the purpose and need of the project, 

park management objectives, and 

operability constraints. 

Through an intensive public review 

process, two action alternatives were 

identified in addition to the No Action 

Alternative (Alternative 1)—the 

Preferred Action Alternative has two 

options for the track turnaround 

configuration (Alternatives 2A and 2B). 

Common elements of the Preferred 

Action Alternatives include the 

extension of approximately 0.85 mile of 

new rail track; associated features such 

as signals, crossings, wires and poles; 

approximately 8–9 new platforms; new 

designated stops; retrofitting of the 

historic State Belt Railroad tunnelFort 

Mason Tunnel: tunnel (Fort Mason 

Tunnel). The primary difference 

between Alternatives 2A and 2B 

involves the location in which the 

streetcar would turn around at the 

terminus of the proposed track 

extension. Under Alternative 2A, the 

streetcar would turn around via a loop 

in the Fort Mason Center parking lot 

(North Loop). Under Alternative 2B, the 

streetcar would turn around via a loop 

in the Great Meadow (South Loop). 

The Draft EIS was made available for 

public review for 60 days (March 18– 

May 23, 2011); the full text and graphics 

were also posted on the NPS Planning, 

Environment and Public Comment Web 

site. A public open house on the 

proposed action was held on April 20, 

2011, and attended by a total of 81 

people, during which the Project team 

collected oral and written comments. In 

addition, throughout the review period, 

NPS received a total of 98 comment 

letters on the proposed action. The 

majority of those that commented on the 

Draft EIS supported the proposed 

action. The public’s primary concerns 

about the preferred alternative included 

mitigating the loss of parking, 

displacement of street artist sales 

spaces, increased traffic congestion, 

noise and congestion near the Marina 

neighborhood, conflicts with other 

planned projects, and mitigating 

impacts to National Historic Landmark 

resources. Many also suggested various 

design ideas and other measures to help 

reduce these impacts. 

In coordination with other affected 

agencies, and after considering all oral 

and written comments, the NPS 

prepared the Final EIS. The analysis 

revealed Alternative 1 (No Action) to be 

the Environmentally Preferred 

Alternative. Alternative 2 was found to 

be the superior alternative with 

Alternative 2A (North Loop) the 

preferred option for the Turnaround, 

and thus NPS’s Final Preferred Action 

Alternative. 

Decision Process: The NPS will 

prepare a Record of Decision no sooner 

than 30 days following EPA’s notice in 

the Federal Register of filing of the 

Final EIS. As a delegated EIS, the 

official responsible for approval of the 

extension of F–Line streetcar service 

from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Fort 

Mason Center is the Regional Director; 

subsequently the officials responsible 

for implementation will the 

Superintendents of San Francisco 

Maritime National Historical Park and 

Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
