Castro Street between Market and 19th streets is one location that is being considered for partial closure to vehicular traffic so that dine-in restaurants can reopen, according to Jacob Bintliff, legislative aide to gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman.
Bintliff, a gay man, said in a May 21 phone call with the Bay Area Reporter that nothing is set in stone, and the idea is one of many proposals to help the beleaguered restaurant industry.
