Streetsblog SF reports today that the popular Sunday Streets events held twice a year in Golden Gate Park and along the Great Highway are going to become more frequent in 2012.

“The route will use some of the quieter streets that are already off limits to cars or are less used,” said Sunday Streets organizer Susan King. “That includes Overlook and Middle Drive [in the park] and negotiating a different pathway along Martin Luther King Drive to get out to the Great Highway.”

She explained that the changes would allow the number of Sunday Streets events on the route to increase from the current two per year up to as many as one per month. It would also be “less intense” for city staff who work the event and allow the Recreation and Parks Department to continue reserving revenue-generating picnic spaces, she said.

Closures along the Great Highway would also be more limited. Get the full story at Streetsblog SF

  1. Sunday Streets once a month sounds real good to me. There was a large turnout of people Sunday in spite of the somewhat cold and foggy weather most of the day. My highlight on Sunday was watching the young people of Rock Project playing on the Great Highway near Sloat. Those who got to see them know what I am mean, I kept thinking that I could be watching a future rock star. Rock on Sunday Streets!
