New Year’s Fireworks Show
Saturday, 11:59 p.m.
The Embarcadero
Unbelievably it is that time of year again when we take stock of all that occurred during the past 12 months and say goodbye to 2016. Kick off the new year right by heading to The Embarcadero for an annual tradition as the city’s picturesque waterfront is lit up by a colorful, awe inspiring and booming pyrotechnic display. It will be a chilly night, so remember to dress warm.
Take advantage of Muni’s complimentary service to the Muni Metro to Embarcadero Station as well as any Market Street bus route or the 14 Mission to Market and Steuart streets.
Muni service note: Routes near the event may see delays due to heavier ridership during evening and late night trips.
Van Ness Construction Reminder:
All left turn lanes on Van Ness Avenue have been removed with the exceptions of those at Broadway (southbound), Lombard (northbound), and temporarily at Hayes (northbound).
North and southbound lane re-configurations on Van Ness Avenue between Jackson and Greenwich streets are now in effect.
For complete details on these changes, please revisit our November 4 blog post.
Temporary J Church and K Ingleside Service Changes Reminder:
Due to Balboa Park Station Area and Plaza Improvement construction work, there are now temporary stop changes in effect for the J Church and K Ingleside lines at Balboa Park Station. These stop changes will be in place through the end of the year. For details, please read our September 1 blog post.
