SAN FRANCISCO — Halloween on Cortland will close a stretch of Bernal Heights’ main commercial street Saturday afternoon and evening, with several adjoining intersections also blocked and the 24 Divisadero moved off its normal path.
When is Halloween on Cortland?
The event is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. SFMTA’s travel advisory lists the principal traffic closures from about 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Which streets close?
The published closure footprint includes Cortland Avenue from Bennington Street to Gates Street, plus portions of Moultrie, Anderson and Ellsworth around Cortland. Intersections at Wool, Andover, Moultrie, Anderson and Ellsworth are also affected.
- Moultrie Street between Cortland and Eugenia

What happens to the 24 Divisadero?
The 24 Divisadero reroutes in both directions around the closure. Riders headed to Bernal Heights should allow extra time and check the nearest temporary stop before traveling.
Should drivers use Cortland Avenue?
No. The closure covers the central event area, and adjacent neighborhood streets are likely to absorb extra traffic. Walking, Muni or arriving outside the closure window will generally be easier than trying to cross Cortland during the event.
