The subway tunnels, one for northbound trains and one for southbound trains, will continue north past Chinatown Station along Stockton Street and terminate near Columbus Avenue. In the future, the northern end of the T Third line may be extended to terminate in North Beach or to Fisherman's Wharf and the Aquatic Park to connect with F Market & Wharves. Fourteen alternative routes were proposed in a 2014 study to extend the line, and daily ridership was projected to increase by 40,000 if the extension was completed. "San Francisco Chronicle" architecture critic John King wrote there was "a compelling power to the idea of an extension that, if nothing else, would make the Central Subway seem less like a boondoggle and more of a factor in the shaping of tomorrow’s city. The empty lot of the Pagoda was a starting point for dreams. Let’s see if it can become a starting point of something real as well."
