, is expected to draw some 20,000 people to san francisco. that includes world leaders, and they're entourages as a result, roads will be closed, highways will be jammed, and security will be heightened around san francisco. so there are already zones with heightened security outlined around moscone center, nob hill, along the embarcadero and at the legion of honor for various events. san francisco leaders announced the launch of their emergency operations center for apec yesterday. >> this will be the place where many of our city agencies will receive information and in real time be able to communicate that information to the public and to respond as quickly as possible. we are following the recommendations of the seat. well, they're not necessarily recommendation ones. they're requirements from the secret service agency to deal with the ability to move people around and to keep various leaders and delegates safe in san francisco,

the area around yerba buena gardens and also the moscone center, because it's essentially going to be like a fortress in the city. so where you see all the red, those are the road closures. so you can't go there. the green is going to be for local traffic, but that does not mean that every thing can get through because you're not going to be able to have, say, rideshare available through that area. also, food delivery won't be an option through those areas because there will still be some screening as well. now, let's get into the bay bridge, because when this announcement was made, people went a little nuts hearing that you were going to be down to lanes. so that means one eastbound lane, one westbound lane, and that's for four days. so when we zoom in a little closer to that, you can see the start date is going to be tuesday the 14th at 5 a.m. and then it will not reopen open until the 17th. and that's not going to be until 9:00 pm. you're also going to have some off ramps impacted as well there. so you can see there at the bottom, that's going to be an issue. so the big note here is that if you can work from home, that's what our messaging is going to continue to be. all
