Question: Should we have MORE cars driving through Golden Gate Park or LESS? It's that simple.

Do we have a second entrance to the garage in the center of the Park?

Do we allow city traffic to cross through the Concourse?

FACTS: Most visitors to the deYoung and Academy of Sciences will come from the Bay Area(55%), not the City, and most of them come in their private cars (92%). Of city visitors, 45% take transit to the Concourse. Of tourists staying in hotels, only 15% even have a car. How will they get there.

The access routes are well established and how these people access the Concourse is the question. They can as easily reach the 10th Ave. and Fulton entrance as drive into the heart of the Park.

Or they can be provided an entrance in the Concourse, supposedly access from 'dedicated' added lanes at 9th and Lincoln:

The problem with this is that only traffic on Lincoln going west from downtown can access this intersection, all other traffic must pass through the 9th and Irving intersection, the heart of the Inner Sunset, and impacting several major transit lines.

But what of the impacts to the Richmond District from a single entrance?
