Twin Peaks Tunnel Opening

After two months of construction, the 100 year-old Twin Peaks Tunnel project plans to reopen on schedule this weekend. Crews are finalizing work and the K, L and M trains will resume running through the tunnel on Saturday. The Nx will resume service on Monday, August 27.

TreasureFest: Dog Days of Summer

Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Treasure Island

It's the end of the month and that means it's time to head over to Treasure Island for TreasureFest. This month's event is for the dogs and will feature specialty cocktails for both humans and dogs alike (don't worry, the doggie drinks are non-alcoholic and certified safe for pups!), a doggy wedding contest, Yappy Hour, as well as TreasureFest's usual staples of live music, more than 40 food trucks, and more for the whole family.

How to Get There on Muni: Riders can take the 25 Treasure Island Route to and from this event.

Muni Service Notes: There are no reroutes or major service delays expected for this event, though some minor delays may be possible due to increased ridership to and from the event.

Bridge to Bridge Run

Sunday, 8 a.m.
Embarcadero

Combining sightseeing with a healthy dose of exercise, the Bridge to Bridge Run has been named "America's most beautiful run" by Sports Illustrated and the course certainly lives up to the title. The event consists of two races, a 5K and a 12K, both of which begin on the Embarcadero at the Ferry Plaza, proceed north to Fisherman's Wharf and through Ghirardelli Square. The 5K reaches the finish line at Marina Green, while the 12K continues on to Crissy Field for a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge (unless Karl the Fog decides to make an appearance, of course!) Participants will then be treated at Marina Green with food, beer, music and much more. All proceeds benefit the Special Olympics of Northern California.

How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take any Market Street bus route, the Muni Metro subway, the F Market and Wharves Line, as well as the 1 California, 3 Jackson, 14 Mission,  or the 14R Mission Rapid to near the starting line at Ferry Plaza.

Muni Service Notes: The F Market and Wharves Line and 39 Coit Route will have reroutes.
