San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday that Waymo's self-driving taxis will soon be allowed on Market Street in the financial district.

It's a roughly two-mile stretch that has been closed to most traffic since 2020. It runs from Main Street in the Embarcadero to 10th Street and was championed by safety advocates.

The executive director of the San Francisco Bike Coalition, Christopher White, says he wasn't too happy when he heard Lurie's announcement.
