After the SF Recreation and Park Department closed John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park to vehicular traffic 24/7 to allow space for pedestrians and cyclists to get some exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic, it created a wall between the Richmond District and the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park. 

I have enclosed a map showing the routes (in green) someone in the Inner Richmond would need to drive to drop someone off at the Music Concourse.

The closure has caused hardships for seniors and disabled people and their caregivers who want to go to the de Young Museum, California Academy of Sciences and the Observation Wheel currently operating at the east end of the Concourse.
