Overview
- Newly appointed Supervisor Alan Wong said he will sponsor a measure to reopen the Upper Great Highway to vehicles on weekdays and filed paperwork to run for the District 4 seat.
- Proposition K, approved citywide in November 2024, closed the two-mile stretch to cars to create Sunset Dunes park, a decision opposed by most voters in Districts 1 and 4 and followed by the recall of Joel Engardio.
- At least four supervisors are required to place the measure on the ballot, with Connie Chan and Shamann Walton in support, Chyanne Chen undecided, and votes still in flux.
- Friends of Sunset Dunes and allied groups condemned Wong’s move and argue the shoreline road is unsustainable due to erosion, while SFMTA studies reported minimal citywide traffic impacts from the closure.
- A lawsuit challenging the closure is slated for an early January hearing, and Mayor Daniel Lurie publicly backed Wong during his campaign filing announcement.
