The best way to improve #TunnelTops would be to destroy the freeway next to it.

I wanted to like this park but the roar of traffic destroys any sense of chill, which is probably why it always seems half empty.

It exists to greenwash a freeway that shouldn’t have been built. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/presidio-tunnel-tops-park-18176192.php

@scott getting rid of parking is good though. I’m just not sure where the 30 Stockton will turn around if that parking lot is converted to parkland.

@BruceHalperin @scott Maybe the gray area south of the meadow will remain as the bus stop? Don't know.

I wonder if Sports Basement will have to build a new entrance on the west or north side.

@scott @jef it will. The article mentioned something about it being reconfigured to provide about as much parking as it does now, which sucks, but less asphalt is still better.
