Mr. Wiener on Friday will propose one of the broadest rollbacks of the once-vaunted California Environmental Quality Act by asking the state legislature to allow most projects in downtown San Francisco to bypass the law for the next decade.

The withering mall on Market Street could more quickly become something else like the soccer stadium that Mayor London Breed has envisioned.
