    Starting at 9 a.m., 2nd Street will be closed between Brannan & Market for parade formation.

    Starting at 10:30 a.m., Mission Street will be closed to automobiles between 9th St and Steuart to accommodate Muni reroutes.

    Getting to Civic Center

    The easiest way to get to Civic Center Plaza is via the Market Street Subway. BART may also be taken to Civic Center/U.N. Plaza station.

    Muni Impact Summary

    Some routes will switchback–changing from inbound to outbound–before they reach Market Street. Some routes will operate on Mission Street instead. Most routes that cross Market Street will be rerouted around the event areas. Reroutes start at different times, but all service will return to normal once Market Street is clear.
