On Wednesday, Occupy San Francisco protesters gathered at the Federal Reserve Bank on Market Street at 7am in an effort to disrupt the morning commute.

As of 8:30am, a group of 200 protesters was blocking the door to the Wells Fargo corporate headquarters, forcing workers to use a side entrance. Other protesters were marching up California Street and service to the California Street cable car was disrupted. The SFMTA has advised commuters to expect heavy delays throughout the Financial District.
