"Cortland is already a busy street, and the streets right around it are so narrow that cars often have to back up or pull over to let drivers from the opposite direction pass by. Since Cortland is the only direct route to the Home Depot site from Noe Valley, the Outer Mission, Glen Park, and the surrounding areas, it would quickly become a traffic-choked nightmare. The neighborhood is full of pedestrians, many of them seniors or kids, and all the new cars on the streets could pose a real safety problem. The traffic would also significantly slow the 24 bus line, which travels along Cortland Street."
