Union Street is an east-west street in San Francisco that starts out at Montgomery Street, and runs through Russian Hill and Cow Hollow shopping district and ends in the Presidio in San Francisco.
It is the only east-west street that allows two-way traffic to traverse Russian Hill (all others have gaps or one-way segments). For this reason, the Muni 45-Union/Stockton and 41-Union bus lines, both utilizing Union Street, are the only Muni bus lines that cross Russian Hill east-west.
Famous quotes containing the words union and/or street:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“If you would learn to write, ‘t is in the street you must learn it. Both for the vehicle and for the aims of fine arts you must frequent the public square. The people, and not the college, is the writer’s home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
