San Francisco's Upper Great Highway: Results of Proposition G

San Francisco residents have voted to keep the city closed to private vehicles for the second time in two years, opting to maintain its newest Coastal park, the Sunset Dunes. The San Francisco Chronicle called the measure. As of 11 p.m., residents have voted no on Prop G, with 109,160 (62.8%) voting in opposition and 64,656 (37.2%) voting yes. What is Prop G? At the center of Prop G is a simple question: whether voters want to reconsider the city's decision to renovate a two-mile stretch of the Upper Great Highway into the coastal park, Sunset Dunes. During the pandemic, the city temporarily closed the Upper Great Highway to weekend commuters, giving residents an outdoor area for social distancing and recreation. In 2024, voters considered Proposition K, which asked whether to permanently close the Upper Great Highway to motor vehicles seven days a week and use it as a public open recreation space. Ultimately, Prop K passed, earning 206,042 votes in support, or about 54% of the vote. The city of San Francisco then spent about $820,000 in public funds to create Sunset Dunes Park, removing old traffic signals and renovating the area for public use. As of June 2026,

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
