San Francisco: Is "Sunday Streets" Good or Bad for Local Businesses?

Sunday Streets, San Francisco's car-free "experiment", received a huge turnout in both 2008 and 2009. But, as pedestrians, skaters, and bicyclists flooded the streets, how were local businesses affected? After the 2009 Sunday Streets season drew to a close, NENtv visited the lower 24th Street merchants in the Mission district to see if Sunday Streets has finally answered a debate that has raged for a long time: "Is closing the streets to cars good or bad for local businesses?"
