Great Highway Vote Divides SF | Oakland News

San Francisco voters face another high-stakes ballot battle over the Great Highway—this time, whether to let cars back on a key stretch during weekdays. It’s the third vote in four years, tied directly to the fate of Sunset Dunes Park, a beloved coastal green space. Residents in the Sunset District argue traffic woes and business impacts are real, even citing a recall of former Supervisor Joel Engardio over the issue. But opponents, including State Senator Scott Wiener and most Board of Supervisors members, say the park is thriving and that reopening the road would erase it—especially since most park visitors come on weekends. Supervisor Alan Wong oddly backs the car-reopening plan, adding to the political tug-of-war. This vote could reveal whether San Francisco prioritizes car access or preserves its last coastal park on the western edge.
