We saw a presentation about this at the last general meeting
of Rescue Muni.
It would be a cross between an "F" and an "N" with a bit
of "44" thrown in. There were three turn-arounds discussed
with the "ideal" being past the Academy of Sciences building
in the park.

According to the plan, it would be completely new service.
If it "cut into" anything, it might be the "F" line from Church
to Castro. I believe that the presenter suggested it as mainly
a Mid-Day and Weekend route using the historic streetcars,
but that Breda's and Boeing's could take that route during
rush hour from the Muni tunnel if needed. It's not "supposed"
to cut into the "44" line either as the 44 goes past the
park and connects the Sunset and Richmond districts.
Hope this helps,

P.S. Where was the article published?
