	+ =Proposed street closure= + Some city officials have been considering closing off a two-mile stretch of Market Street between ["Octavia Boulevard" Octavia] and ["the Embarcadero"] to civilian traffic, in an attempt to reduce traffic on the thoroughfare. Under the plan, only ["Muni"] buses and trains, and possibly taxis, delivery vehicles and cars with disabled placards would be allowed to use this section of Market. Supervisor ["Chris Daly"] is urging ["Mayor"] ["Gavin Newsom"] to consider the proposal, especially in light of Newsom's plan to incite people to exercise by closing off 6 miles of the Embarcadero and ["Third Street"] on two Sundays in the summer of 2008. Newsom will need plenty of convincing, according to the mayor's spokesperson, Nathan Ballard: "It's an intriguing idea, but this isn't a very smart proposal. Chris Daly is not exactly the president of Mensa." + + The ["Market Street Association"] is worried that businesses along Market Street will suffer like many -- including several large department stores -- did during a 17-year closure of Chicago's historic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Street_%28Chicago%29 State Street]. After State Street was reopened to civilian traffic in 1996, prosperity returned. + + Some proponents believe that reducing vehicle traffic will make the road safer for riding ["bicycles"], which comprise over half of all traffic on Market during commute hours, according to a June 2008.
