Oracle 'Closed' World Starts Tonight

The closure of Howard Street due to the Oracle Open World conference starts tonight and will run through October 28th. My advice is to avoid driving within at least three blocks of this mess at all costs. Traffic that normally flows through Howard Street will be redirected to Mission, Harrison, and Brannan Streets. The closure will also increase traffic on Third and Fourth Streets and, maybe to a lesser extent, Second and Fifth Streets. Let's see what happens next week when the conference is in full force and the additional lane is closed on Fourth Street.
