Eventually, it went to the ballot three times, and in 1999, the prevailing voter sentiment in San Francisco was to remove the Central Freeway somewhere south of Market [Street]. Eventually, we [now] have that Octavia Boulevard and the touchdown of the freeway at Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caltrans says the traffic jams for this closure could be significant.

However, as many San Franciscans know, the day-to-day realities in San Francisco can be quite different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ I think the risk would be low — but not zero — to show up on 420 and consume cannabis in Golden Gate Park,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seligson said that generally, people are less likely to get busted for consuming cannabis in public in San Francisco because “ police have discretion in enforcing these rules, and they have priorities.

But that penalty goes up if you’re caught smoking cannabis in a place where tobacco is prohibited — or within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center or youth center while children are present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ That’s where you might see the discretion of a police officer,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What about smoking or carrying cannabis on federal land like the Presidio?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area is blessed with a multitude of scenic properties that are owned by the federal government, which could strike someone as the perfect place to \u003cem>(ahem)\u003c/em> take a walk with some friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Seligson said cannabis consumers should be aware that the chances of police enforcing cannabis law are much higher on federal property — and the penalty is much harsher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Possession of any amount of cannabis on federal land is a misdemeanor offense and can carry a maximum sentence of 1 year in prison or a maximum fine of $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12057664\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12057664\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250224-Presidio-09-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A person walks dogs through Crissy Field in the Presidio, a park and former military outpost, in San Francisco on Feb. 25, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“ Do not bring your cannabis, and do not smoke your cannabis in the Presidio,” Seligson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other notable federally owned properties in the San Francisco area include Alcatraz Island, the Marin Headlands and Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cannabis remains federally classified as a schedule one controlled substance, meaning any cannabis use, possession or distribution on federal property is illegal,” Seligson said. “There is no leeway there, and there is enforcement as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Motorists are strongly advised to avoid the area around I-80 in San Francisco and the interchange with U.S. Highway 101 for the entire weekend of April 17–19. For those committed to driving, expect heavy delays and budget extra travel time, Caltrans said. “We are trying to get the motorists to just avoid that area and choose not to drive. And if they do drive, to use one of the detours,” said Lori Shepherd, Caltrans’ public information officer for San Francisco County. “That would be really a great way to save themselves a lot of headaches.” The closures are part of what Caltrans calls “The Fab Rehab,” the agency’s ongoing repair of crucial viaducts near downtown, where I-80 intersects with U.S. 101 near the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge.

Motorists are strongly advised to avoid the area around I-80 in San Francisco and the interchange with U.S. Highway 101 for the entire weekend of April 17–19. For those committed to driving, expect heavy delays and budget extra travel time, Caltrans said. “We are trying to get the motorists to just avoid that area and choose not to drive. And if they do drive, to use one of the detours,” said Lori Shepherd, Caltrans’ public information officer for San Francisco County. “That would be really a great way to save themselves a lot of headaches.” The closures are part of what Caltrans calls “The Fab Rehab,” the agency’s ongoing repair of crucial viaducts near downtown, where I-80 intersects with U.S. 101 near the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
