Olympic Torch Reaches San Francisco
Olympic Torch relay in London, England Photo uploaded by unusualimage
This morning around 4 am, the Olympic Torch reached San Francisco. Earlier protests in Paris and London have prompted San Francisco officials to ramp up security at San Francisco International Airport and around the city. The relay is planned for an undisclosed route near Fisherman Wharf and San Francisco’s waterfront. Since San Francisco is the only torch top in North America, protesters from around the country are expected to turn out for the event.
If you are planning to visit San Francisco attractions in the Fisherman’s Wharf or Embarcadero areas today or tomorrow, please allow extra travel time due to the Olympic Torch relay. There will be street closures and delays to service on public transportation during the time of the relay so make plans accordingly. If you’re a Go San Francisco cardholder, and you’ve made a reservation for Alcatraz Cruises, please arrive at Pier 33 at the Embarcadero one hour before scheduled departure time.
If you’re attending the Olympic Torch relay as a spectator (or even a protester), then leave a comment and tell us about your experiences!
