APEC, one of the biggest gatherings of world leaders, is expected to bring traffic jams to San Francisco with closures of freeway offramps and downtown streets.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, one of the biggest gatherings of world leaders in San Francisco in 78 years, is expected to bring traffic jams to the city with closures of freeway offramps and downtown streets. “If you don’t have to be in downtown San Francisco, don’t go. Or if you do, take public transit.
or Muni Metro will not be affected,” Ryan Leong, a spokesperson for Caltrans, told SFGATE. “This is like the presidential inauguration, but instead of D.C. it’s in San Francisco. If people have business in the downtown area in the coming weeks, avoid the area.” Some streets will shut down as early as Tuesday. People in San Francisco may find it difficult to get around as law enforcement implements detours and checkpoints all over downtown.
