What's Happening to San Francisco's Great Highway

The fate of one of San Francisco's most famous streets will be decided by voters this November. In response to the pandemic, the city closed certain public streets to car traffic, reserving it for public open space, and one of those was a portion of the Great Highway along the Pacific Ocean between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard. A ballot measure, Proposition K, that voters are gonna vote on later this year proposes to permanently shut down a stretch of the Great Highway to car traffic and create what's been dubbed Ocean Beach Park, and that shutdown space would be completely redesigned for new beach access, new parking, a pedestrian plaza at Sloat Boulevard, Boulevard, and it's intended as part of an adaptive reuse of the space to help address issues stemming from climate change and sea level rise that's eroding the shoreline. But opponents of the measure say people are already using the shoreline as a park. Obviously, you can see that if you go over there. So money doesn't need to be spent on this redesign, and closing it down to traffic permanently is just going to create even more congestion elsewhere, which we definitely don't want. Let me know in the comments which side you're on. I'm on the opposite side.
