A coalition of community groups wants to restrict traffic on the 100 block of Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco to install green space and a play area.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Each weekend in San Francisco for the past six months a different street has been closed to traffic to allow residents to come out and play. It's a program called"Sunday Streets" and it has been wildly popular. Now, some are proposing the idea as a permanent way to help out one the city's most downtrodden neighborhoods.
Up to 3,500 kids call the Tenderloin District home but you rarely see them because they play in a few small courtyards and parks, fenced off from the grim realities in the city's most desperate neighborhood. When they close a street to cars and let people play, as they did Sunday, it's a big deal for the neighborhood. Now a coalition of community groups is proposing to permanently restrict traffic on the 100 block of Golden Gate Avenue and install green space and benches and a play area -- a place for people of all ages to come out, relax and have a little breathing room.
