The city's most used (and most loved/hated) light rail line will be taking weekends off starting at the end of this month. As the Examiner explains this morning, Muni will stop running weekend trains on February 24th and every weekend after that for a month and a half while they perform some upgrades around Carl Street and that messy intersection of Church and Duboce.

Shuttle busses will run between Ocean Beach and Church Street while the LRVs are out of service, so the downtown crowd searching for brunch at Outerlands or whatever will have to transfer aboveground at Church. Downtown, no N trains will be running in the underground or around the Embarcadero during construction work, but Muni has promised to run additional trains on the other lines to get folks down to Caltrain and South Beach.

Down the tracks a bit in May, Muni will start another construction project to replace a section of track at Church and Duboce. That project will close the N-Judah completely for about two weeks from May 25th until June 4th.
