In the fifties there was a plan afoot to build freeways through Fisherman's Wharf, Glen Park and the Great Highway (the road that abuts the Pacific Ocean). These and more fun facts here. Community opposition shot down most of the proposed roads, leaving us with the pedestrian/bike friendly city that we love and gloat about today.
Planners in LA concocted similar highway expansion plans, which were largely implemented.
