»On disappointment, in the form of Octavia Boulevard

More complaints about Octavia Boulevard:
it causes backups on tertiary roads, such as Page St., preventing transit;
it provides limited visibility of the rolling main road, inhibiting traffic throughput;
the brief length of road and inconsistent light timing results in congestion;
it amounts to nothing more than a glorified free-way offramp, as it fails to connect multiple crosstown routes (if the Boulevard extended to, say, Geary, it would be especially useful);
and it ends in the risible Hayes Green, yet another pile of dog turd. I walked through the little square of green where oft children play, and squished my hapless way through several piles of poop, fresh and stale. It's a playground, but like every public piece of green in this city, amounts to nowt but crap.
