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,

Not so fast: Study on rapid airport route through Natomas paused by Sacramento RT

Sacramento Regional Transit is pausing what would be the first step in establishing a transit line through Natomas to Sacramento International Airport. It says a delay in a state project and loss of a potential revenue stream triggered the decision. CEO Henry Li said Monday during the agency’s board of directors meeting that the study looking into the feasibility of a bus rapid transit route between downtown Sacramento and SMF would not start in spring 2027 as originally planned. The agency has not set a new start date. Bus rapid transit systems, which are set up throughout California, offer shorter travel times than regular buses through features like dedicated lanes and traffic signal priority. BRT is designed to bridge the gap between traditional bus service and light rail. Regional Transit had applied for and received $700,000 in grants to complete the study and conceptual design for a BRT through Natomas. The agency said it would be a stepping stone to eventually establishing light rail in the same area. Extending the Green Line light rail remains RT’s long-term goal, however the estimated cost is about $2 billion. So the transit agency is considering BRT as an in-between alternative that it says
