#greathighway — Public Fediverse posts

I think I took this image just as orientation for other photos I took here, but I guess this is now a historical image because that long stream of cars that are barely seen in this image will no longer be there. Not sure for how far the highway is closed, but a few miles worth is now pedestrian-friendly.

2/2 I was inspired by:

-bike advocates who helped ensure a bike path stays available on the Golden Gate Bridge (super busy today)
-advocates who successfully got a section of Great Highway closed to cars & turned it into a wonderful linear park by the beach (this is what Lake WA Blvd in Seattle should become!)
-gorgeous weather which led me to keep biking another 10+ miles when I only planned on crossing the GG Bridge

#SF #GreatHighway

It's not scientific but today's KTVU poll regarding the Great Highway is running 67% to 21% for entirely reopening the Great Highway entirely to vehicle traffic vs keeping it closed; the remaining 12% voted to reopen it only on weekdays.

Alan Wong, the newly appointed supervisor for the Sunset District, is presenting a proposal today to the Board of Supervisors to reopen the Great Highway on weekdays, which if a majority of the Board approves it, will be put on the ballot for #SF voters to vote on again.

Personally, I don't think that the voters in The City at large understood the impact that the complete closing of the Great Highway would have on the residents of the Sunset &, with the recall & all of the recent publicity surrounding the closure, I think that public opinion across The City has changed & that this proposal likely would pass if the voters are allowed to vote on the matter again.

We'll see . . .

@MLNow #AlanWong is not stupid. Good for him Apparently he wants to get elected following his nomination.

He knows what the majority of the people in the #SunsetDistrict want & it's to reopen the #GreatHighway for daily use & allow it be closed on weekends which is a reasonable compromise, except for those YIMBY people who just moved into the Sunset & who live elsewhere in The City who don't have to deal with the traffic in the area, especially since 19th Ave is now also bogged down with repaving.

I’d like to ask all the people grousing about the transformation of the #GreatHighway into a car-free park about this virtual freeway cutting through #GoldenGatePark. 💀 indeed. https://pixelfed.social/p/brentsleeper/849045087630738467

I was moved by this interactive installation on #GreatHighway at Ortega St., in #SanFrancisco’s new #SunsetDunes park. I watched several other people take a stone and speak into the phone. One of the artists was there, cleaning and refreshing the container of stones.

All of you who are hot to close the #GreatHighway to make it into a park should be up in arms demanding that all of the multi-million $ houses that were blocking access to the ocean that have now burned down be claimed & paid for by #EminentDomain to allow direct public access to #MalibuBeach.

This is a rare opportunity to provide such access.

Claims abound, but how would it actually affect west-side commutes if Proposition K passes and a major part of SF’s Great Highway closes?

Closing #GreatHighway, the parkway that
・runs 2 miles with no exits, turn outs, or businesses
・controls cars to 35mph and has no stopping zones or parking
・is separated from the residential buildings that overlook it by 130 feet of greenspace

Is critical to their businesses.

Yeah… sure it is. I mean, who wants to have a large public attraction near their place of business? People might come because they find it attractive, and then what would happen?

Nothing good, I'm sure.

EXCLUSIVE:

A merchants group is opposing an #SF ballot measure that would close the #GreatHighway to car traffic and transform it into a park.

The measure could hurt foot traffic to businesses and delay merchandise deliveries, they say. https://www.sfpublicpress.org/merchants-oppose-ballot-measure-to-turn-great-highway-into-park/
