Overview
- Supervisor Alan Wong released draft language for a citywide measure that would allow cars on the Upper Great Highway during weekdays and preserve recreational use on weekends.
- To qualify for the June ballot, he must file by Jan. 13 and secure signatures from three other supervisors, with Connie Chan, Shamann Walton and Chyanne Chen described as potential backers in recent reports.
- A San Francisco judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Prop K, which established the park, and plaintiffs have roughly two months to appeal.
- Any reopening plan may require California Coastal Commission approval following its unanimous 2024 decision supporting the car‑free park.
- Park advocates cite SFMTA findings of minimal citywide traffic impacts and warn of removal costs for new installations, while Wong points to congestion on neighborhood streets as his rationale for the weekday reopening.
