The double-decker freeway that once cut through Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, a concrete monster that served as a haven for drugs and prostitution and cast unwelcoming shadows over the area, is gone. In its place is a boulevard, which was designed not just with cars in mind, but pedestrians and bicyclists -- a linear park where there was once only asphalt and concrete.
The city has plans to build up to 900 units of new housing -- 50 percent deemed affordable -- on the parcels along the boulevard that once served as the freeway right of way.
