SF's Great Highway fight may just be over

After six years, three ballot measures and a supervisor recall, San Francisco's fight over the Upper Great Highway and Sunset Dunes may finally be winding down. Why it matters: The dispute has become one of SF's most divisive battles over how to balance public space and neighborhood traffic. Driving the news: Voters this week overwhelmingly rejected Proposition G, which would've reopened the Upper Great Highway to vehicles on weekdays. Supporters of opening the highway haven't announced any renewed effort since the election. This SF Chronicle precinct map showcases the geographic divide in Prop G sentiment. Precincts directly along the Upper Great Highway voted no while pockets just inland voted yes. Support shifted back to no farther into the city. Catch up quick: What started as a pandemic-era street closure turned into a six-year political fight. 2020: San Francisco closed the Upper Great Highway to cars during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving residents space for socially distanced recreation. 2021–2022: The city restored weekday vehicle access. In November 2022, 65% of San Francisco voters rejected full vehicle access under Proposition I. 2024–2025: 55% of voters approved permanently converting the highway into a park under Prop. K , and Sunset Dunes opened in April

Meet UMNI: The Retired SF Muni Bus Getting a Second Life as a Roaming Speakeasy

“I don’t know what we’re gonna do with it. We gotta go look at it.”. Those were the words lifelong San Francisco resident Oliver Sellman said to his childhood friend Santiago Rollo after stumbling across a Muni bus for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The two made the spontaneous drive to Sacramento, using the time on the road to brainstorm ideas for what they could do with the bus. After batting around a few possibilities, they landed on one that stuck: What if we turned it into a mobile speakeasy? While they didn’t end up purchasing that particular bus, they held tightly onto the idea. They eventually found another retired Muni bus and teamed up with Marc Velten-Lomelin, who would help shape the project’s creative identity and bring the concept to life. Just like that, UMNI was born.
