SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco’s Market Street is readying for a major makeover, restricting private vehicles from driving on the road.Anyone who has been on Market Street knows it is coordinated chaos as a mix of buses, trolleys, taxis, bikes, Ubers, lifts, delivery trucks, personal vehicles, and pedestrians make their way back and forth.But down the road, city officials hope it will look more like this:
The plans call for taking all personal vehicle, as well as Uber and Lyft, off Market altogether.
Delivery vehicles would have restricted hours.

As for Uber and Lyft drivers, those KRON4 spoke with don’t think it will be a big deal.
