With Market Street struggling, some are proposing to reverse the ban on private vehicles on the corridor. But SFMTA officials are concerned a change would make the street more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.

When Mohammad Zughaiyer walks down Market Street, it's still hard for him to see the transformation of a once bustling area of San Francisco. 'It's empty. It's like abandoned. If you compare from before, it's like nobody is in town,' said Zughaiyer. A decade-long planning effort banned privately-owned cars from traveling on the corridor two months before the onset of the pandemic in 2020.Buses, bicycles, taxis, and commercial trucks now have the green light.

data shows since closing Market in January 2020, collisions have dropped by 40%, while travel times on public transportation along the route were reduced by 14%. 'Economic recovery requires bringing people to the downtown. That's what's really needed. The challenge with putting cars back on Market Street is it displaces some of the people who are already there,' said Tumlin. Like Fernando Gambaroni, who now cycles to work along the stretch.

says it has added more than 100 loading zones on cross streets to facilitate getting people close to Market Street. Despite the ongoing struggle to fill seats and tables, Zughaiyer remains hopeful for a revitalization. 'We don't know when but I'm sure, 100%, it's coming back,' said Zughaiyer. But it's unclear how long Oasis Grill can keep its doors open.
