Proposal for partial closure of Market Street to car traffic reaches 'significant milestone'

More than two miles of Market Street will be closed to private car traffic with San Francisco's Better Market Street project — an effort that just reached a "significant milestone," according to city officials.

In early March, the Planning Department released its Draft Environmental Impact Report, a major step forward for the project's completion that outlines the Market Street makeover's potential impacts on the environment, including noise and air quality.
