With new signage for a “car-free Market Street” and a director at the center of a corruption scandal, it’s been a busy couple of days for San Francisco Public Works.
Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru was arrested on Monday for a wide variety of alleged schemes ranging from attempting to bribe a San Francisco International Airport official to getting city contractors to work on his vacation home for free.
Meanwhile, Public Works is at the forefront of a very ambitious effort to boot private automobiles from a large section of Market Street while encouraging bike, bus and pedestrian bliss.
And, yes, FBI vehicles will still be allowed on the car-free portion of Market Street.
