A portion of San Francisco’s streets from the Bayview to Chinatown [largely Embarcadero] will close to cars for four hours on Sunday and instead be filled with bicyclists, break-dancers and roller skaters.
The city’s first Sunday Streets event has gained support from community groups and athletic organizations that are planning activities along the 4.5-mile route, but merchants at Fisherman’s Wharf are still wary of the impact on their businesses.
The street closures will start at 9 a.m. and last until 1 p.m. During that time, the groups and organizations will host an array of activities, including cultural events and athletic and aerobic exercises. AT&T Park also will open for people to run the bases for part of the day. More at apnews.com
