Just your world-class space for people waiting to spring to life. Crosstown sibling to @GreatWalkway / @GreatHwyPark who’s not throwin’ away their shot.
Holy cow San Francisco! 🤩
76% of DoorDash deliveries are happening on two wheels in SF! We are #1 in North America for two-wheel delivery.
In our densest areas (downtown, nob hill,mission, north beach, marina) I bet this number pushes 90%+
This further supports the viability of car-free/car-lite streets in the core of our cities. We need more public park space. Our streets are our future linear parks. Food delivery via e-bikes, mopeds, and @CocoRobotics means restaurant food delivery can thrive while we expand European-style outdoor dining and car-free promenades
Please amplify this great news! Our policy leaders @DannySauter@bilalmahmood@DanielLurie need to add long greenways to our city core in order to help it compete with western neighborhood and the burbs. Humans don’t choose to live amongst traffic, noise and cement. Give them promenades!
HT @KCGrock
@snarkmawchuk@ArmandDoma 💯 💯 💯. Done-de-done-done-done.
I can only hope that Laurie’s No on K was to get elected and that he fast tracks the magic that should occur for @GreatHwyPark and then replicates it for @GrandEmbarcdero
Exciting news for Embarcadero Plaza!
Growing up in San Francisco, I remember when this area was shadowed by a freeway. Today, it’s a vibrant hub of restaurants, shops, and bustling activity—and we’re about to take it to the next level.
Tomorrow, I’m introducing legislation to approve an exciting public-private partnership with BXP. Together, we’re bringing a new vision to Embarcadero Plaza, transforming it into a 24/7 neighborhood for everyone to live, work, and play. With BXP’s investment, we’re on our way to creating a world-class public space that adds a new layer of energy and excitement to Downtown.
“… a black SUV and white sedan involved in the rolling gun battle could be seen racing through the intersection on the Embarcadero, and later through a group of bicyclists.”

@HnBart@LukeBornheimer@GreatHwyPark@StreetsblogSF@JohnKingSFChron If MTC functioned as intended - regional transportation agency focused on moving people + goods in the most efficient + effective way for the health & prosperity of all, yes. But the myopic policies have left a tremendous amount to be desired. Their grandchildren will curse them.
When advocates called for the double-decker Embarcadero Freeway to be torn down to reconnect San Franciscans to our waterfront, opponents claimed it would “aggravate a bad traffic problem,” “be very expensive,” and that “more studies [were] needed.”
Sound familiar? @GreatHwyPark
This is the type of leadership we need across our city. I look forward to when the east side of town might enjoy the same. Just like San Francisco needs @GreatHwyPark, we also need @GrandEmbarcdero.
@SFBayFerry I love the ferry, but this seems like a tremendous amount of greenwashing. Make @GrandEmbarcdero and let people walk, skate, roll, bike, and speed the ZERO-EMISSION transit we already have.
