Overview
- Voters rejected Proposition G by about 62–63 percent in early returns, a result called Tuesday night that preserves the two-mile Upper Great Highway as the car-free Sunset Dunes park.
- Prop G was a citizen initiative to reopen the roadway to weekday motor-vehicle traffic and reverse the 2024 vote that turned the stretch into a permanent park.
- Sunset Dunes has become heavily used, with the Recreation and Parks Department reporting more than 2.1 million visits through mid-2026, and pro-park groups raised far more money than reopening backers.
- Voting showed a clear geographic split as west-side neighborhoods around Ocean Beach favored reopening while most central, eastern and southeastern precincts opposed it.
- City records put one-time capital costs to reopen the road at roughly $9.8–$10 million for repaving and signal work, leaving officials to weigh traffic fixes and neighborhood access after the vote.
