The "E-Embarcadero" line using historic streetcars (as on the F-Market line) has been planned since the Embarcadero itself was rebuilt after the elevated freeway was demolished. That's why tracks connecting the southern segment used by the N and T lines and the northern segment used by the F line were installed at that time. But since then Muni has said it lacked personnel and/or cars to begin the service. Now, however, the TEP (Transit Effectiveness Project) has approved it and it's possible service could begin sometime in 2010. It's shown here in the TEP recommendation:
