Some info about MLK Jr. Day in San Francisco on Monday:
- MLK Jr. Day closures (SF Chronicle)
- A march starts at 11 a.m. on 4th and Townsend, concluding at Yerba Buena Gardens, where there will be a celebration called "Sustaining the Dream."
- The Caltrain Freedom Train, chartered by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Association of Santa Clara Valley, will be transporting people to San Francisco.
- From the SF Appeal: Streets will be closed along the march route. MUNI will operate on a regular weekday schedule and parking meters and street sweeping will be enforced. However, tow-aways in commuter lanes, residential parking permit restrictions, and Monday-Friday street sweeping will not be enforced.
In Oakland, Monday will be an enforcement holiday -- no enforcement, i.e. -- in terms of parking regulations.
In San Jose, there will be no parking meter enforcement.
BART will run on a Saturday schedule.
Here's a list of MLK Jr. Day schedules for most Bay Area transit systems, from 511.org. And here are lists of holiday weekend events in Oakland and the South Bay.
Finally, lest we start to focus too much on free parking, here's Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
