While I love being a Realtor for so many reasons, holding Sunday open houses has sure limited my Sunday Streets participation. By the time I change out of Realtor garb and get on my bike, things are usually pretty well over, and the streets are being opened to cars again.
Ah well, there's one more this year. Perhaps I can swing an open house in the Mission on October 23rd, and there's always car free weekends in Golden Gate Park, thanks to the SF Bike Coalition.
The Golden Gate Bridge is much beloved and can get very crowded, even without massive road (and trail) reconstruction. Through some inexplicable collective unconscious process, it seems like every access road north and south and the bridge itself is undergoing major change. Having worked with several of the agencies involved, I know this has to do with funding timing and other factors out of their individual control. It is not part of a conspiracy to torture us, though it sure can seem that way.
Alas, we must all be patient, and eventually all the repair and reconstruction of roads around the golden gate will be completed. In the meantime, here's a couple more places to go for updates.
