I had no idea that the old Embarcadero Freeway ran directly in front of the ferry building, before it was rebuilt in its current location in South Beach. The article includes a great photo that really highlights how different the city must have felt then. Contrast this to the measure that residents just recently passed to entirely forbid vehicles (except buses and taxis) east of 10th St.
- xvedejas 7y agoAre you referring to the vote of officials to ban cars on much of Market street? As far as I know, there was no measure passed by residents to ban cars on streets east of 10th, so your comment is misleading. That would be a very large area, something like 1.7sqmi of downtown SF, to restrict cars.
- chrisdhoover 7y agoThe Embarcadero freeway was never rebuilt. What are you taking about “its current location in South Beach.” Do you mean approaches to the Bay Bridge which have been there forever or do you mean the ramp to the bus depot which was realigned? None of the roads in the area are the Embarcadero freeway. Edit: I suppose OP means I280 which was repaired and realigned after Loma Prieta. The neighborhood is called China Basin. South Beach is an adjoining neighborhood.
