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

Bay Bridge eastbound lane closures could snarl traffic

On a clear evening the span looks almost calm, a long ribbon of steel carrying headlights from one shore to the other. Then a message board blinks, a lane drops away, and the rhythm breaks. Bay Bridge closures of this kind rarely last all day, yet they can still turn a familiar crossing into a slow crawl for anyone headed toward the East Bay after dark. Caltrans has scheduled overnight work on eastbound lanes so crews can paint the structure, a task that sounds ordinary until it meets the volume of a bridge that never really empties.
