As traffic returns to the city, San Francisco is considering putting a congestion pricing plan in place to intervene. The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) states that congestion pricing program will take three to five years to prepare.

Immediately west lies a parallel dirt path with sand dunes above an expansive sandy beach which feeds into the Pacific Ocean.
