SF doesn't particularly care for people driving through the city to get to North Bay -- IIRC, there have been protests against building new highways (e.g. along Cesar Chavez / Army St) dating back to the 80s. Drivers will probably shift to CA-1, or Bay Bridge + 580, or even the San Mateo Bridge + 580.
Ideally we'd also replace cars running along 101-Van Ness-GGB with shuttle buses for North Bay commuters working at tech companies in SF and the South Bay.
- jacobolus 11y agoThey’ve been protesting against wrecking the city with shitty highways since long before the 80s. Here was the freeway plan from 1948. http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~258970~5522255 http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~25... Thankfully SF residents blocked it, and the city was mostly saved, unlike many other US cities which had their urban centers completely destroyed in ~1940–1980 by freeways and parking lots.
