San Francisco Judge Tosses Suit, Leaves Sunset Dunes Park Intact

The decision confirms CEQA compliance, shifting the fight to the ballot box.

Overview

  • San Francisco Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ross dismissed all claims in Boschetto v. City and County of San Francisco on Monday.
  • The ruling upholds Proposition K, the 2024 voter-approved measure that closed the Upper Great Highway to private vehicles to create a two-mile coastal park.
  • City attorney spokesperson Jen Kwart said the court affirmed the will of the voters and found the city complied with CEQA.
  • District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong said he will support a proposal to reopen the roadway on weekdays, which would require another ballot measure.
  • Plaintiffs indicated they may appeal within 60 days, while Friends of Sunset Dunes and other supporters called the decision a validation after prior ballot and legal fights.
