scott f<p>Barriers to SF pedestrianizing (non-park) streets all over like Paris:<br>1. Driveways everywhere. Lack of back alleys like some cities have (not sure about Paris)<br>2. Alternatives to driving not improving fast enough<br> a. Transit service levels continuing longterm decline<br> b. Bike infra expansion slow, piecemeal<br>3. Politics around funding: the most carbrained 34% of voters can sink a bond.

scott f<p>The Green Connections Network, from a 2014 plan that hasn't been funded or implemented.
