Overview

  • District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong unveiled draft legislation to restore weekday car traffic on the Upper Great Highway and must file it with three Board co-sponsors by Tuesday to make the June ballot.
  • Potential signatories include Connie Chan, with Shamann Walton expected to back the measure and Chyanne Chen indicating she may sign depending on amendments under discussion.
  • Pro-park residents at a Jan. 7 town hall hosted by Friends of Sunset Dunes loudly opposed Wong’s plan, responding with heckling and boos as he framed the proposal as a compromise.
  • The new push comes after a San Francisco judge last week rejected a legal challenge to the 2024 voter-approved conversion of the coastal roadway into Sunset Dunes park.
  • Unresolved issues include possible California Coastal Commission permitting and the price of removing new park features, as Wong cites traffic spillover into neighborhood streets and others point to mixed data and lower cost estimates.
