New Car Ban in SF
by Michael
Once again the proposal to ban car traffic on Market street rears its ugly head. Its this kind of single-minded thinking that leads to a transit first policy that is really a transit only policy. I don't car how many laws you pass, you are not going to get people out of their cars. And shifting traffic to Mission and Howard will only add to the congestion that already exists on those streets.
But really, I'd like to see this happen just to see Daly and the bike coalition take one on the chin when business tax revenue drops because shoppers have gone to more accessible shopping centers in the Bay Area (like Walnut Creek or San Jose). But it will never happen (Probably.This is San Francisco we're talking about, after all).
