Civic Center interchange, San Francisco Crosstown Tunnel Freeway (1964)

"The architectural consultant feels that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to develop any sense of amenity or aesthetic values in this extensive and complex interchange. The many slivers of steeply sloping land will intersect each other making it impossible to develop the unified park-like quality possible at the Central Freeway interchange. He feels its proximity to the center of San Francisco government will isolate the Civic Center both visually and physically from large areas of the city."
