across from City Hall. There is a parking lot on Franklin between
McAllister and Golden Gate.
There are underground lots at the Opera Plaza on Golden Gate between
Franklin and Van Ness
and at Civic Center Plaza on McAllister between Polk and
Larkin. Parking under the CPUC is not open
to the public. Any Muni bus running on Van Ness will stop on the
corner. Coming from the East by BART
or Muni Metro, it is best to transfer to a westbound No. 5 Bus at
the Powell St. Station. Alternatively, it
is a 5 to 10-minute walk from Civic Center Station and about the
same from Van Ness Station. Coming
from the West by Metro or bus, transfer to a bus going North on Van
Ness. Go up the steps at the corner
of Van Ness and McAllister. Someone will be waiting at the top
behind the gate to let you in.
