The Car-Free Revolution Comes to Market Street
It was a big week for one of San Francisco’s busiest streets: On Wednesday much of Market Street -- a thoroughfare cutting right through the heart of the city’s downtown -- made the switch from car friendly to car free with with new rules banning all private traffic.
