Folder: S.F. Streets-Market-1949.
Newscopy: "They went that-a-way, you drivers and pedestrians--who did? Why, the four streetcar tracks which were long the street's distinguishing characteristics -- now whittled down to only tow. A little more repair work remains to be done, Municipal Railway executives announced, but bus lines drop their detours and resume regular routes down the main stem today. The camera shows the street's 'New Look,' pointing towards the Ferry Building from Laguna-st. There isn't much traffic in sight because most drivers, discouraged by rip-ups, have become accustomed to using other routes. What minor work remains should be completed in two weeks, according to the Municipal Railway officials."
