I've crossed or gotten around Market to/from my work for the last 3 years. These articles are more hype than anything. Thoughts: 1. This has been slowly under way for years, and finally closing it cars really isn't a big deal. I would never have willing taken Market east of 10th for years, there's better and faster routes. (Mission, Folsom, etc) 2. You can still cross Market on car. You have too, going between the Financial district, SoMA, and then highways, 80, 280. So there's plenty of cars around. 3. Market is already clogged full of buses, trams, etc. It's not like it's turned into this walking boulevard heaven. 4. The article calling "one of the cities busiest...thoroughfares" seems pretty disingenuous. I admit I don't have the stats, but in the closed section it's slow, essentially 1 lane, ton of lights, etc. Yes there's a ton of buses, trams, etc but for cars...I can't see it. Is it really busier than Mission, Howard, Folsom, Harrison, Pine, Geary, Oak, Fell, Gough, Van Ness, etc? Ex: Franklin is 4 lanes of traffic going 1 way, with a timed green wave of lights. 5. West of 10th up to the Castro then Twin peaks, and when Market turns into Portola, now that's a busy road, and I use it a good bit.
