At this stage the continued purpose of this closure is, frankly, bewildering to say the least.

July 10, 2025 Good evening SFMTA and ISCOTT: Now that the 4th Head West date has been approved, we want to be clear: this pattern cannot become the norm in 2026. We had hoped and worked diligently to address the 4x frequency this year…but we remain trapped in a loophole that Head West continues to exploit.
