Traffic,San Francisco

In November, voters will be asked to decide if the Great Highway should be permanently closed to cars so it can be made into a new park and promenade.

SAN FRANCISCO -- For years, San Francisco's Great Highway has been under attack from Mother Nature but now the city's voters may reclaim the road before the Pacific Ocean has a chance to do it.The Great Highway is the main traffic artery running parallel to Ocean Beach. It has been a struggle to keep the road clear of drifting sand so, during the pandemic, the city shut the highway to vehicle traffic to give people a place to safely recreate and a lot of people fell in love with it.

'Everybody gets an ocean-front park and you solve the new driving route inland because we're all going to be turning inland anyway. So, let's do it at Lincoln instead of one turn later at Sloat.'Not everyone considers it a win-win. Stephen and Judi Gorski's home overlooks the area and they say it really only attracts visitors on weekends.
