Some Presidio Streets To Close
The closures will allow residents to walk, run, exercise, and bike safely with social distancing.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The closure of several streets for social distancing purposes in San Francisco's Presidio will now take place on Monday after the Presidio Trust that oversees the federal land had said earlier this week that the closure would start on Saturday. The Presidio Slow Streets initiative is closing or limiting traffic on select streets from Monday through June 30 to allow for residents to walk, run, exercise and bike safely amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The closures include West Pacific Avenue between Arguello and Presidio boulevards, Montgomery Street between Lincoln Boulevard and Sheridan Avenue, and Washington Boulevard between Kobbe Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard. Washington Boulevard between Kobbe Avenue and Arguello and West Pacific Boulevard between Fifth Avenue and Arguello Boulevard will also be closed but limited vehicle access for residents, tenants and delivery and emergency vehicles will still be allowed, according to the Presidio Trust.
As the month goes on, the routes could be adjusted, Presidio Trust officials said.
