The marquee races in California on Tuesday are the presidential showdown and several close House contests, but the environment is also on the ballot, with local measures crucial for parks, wildfire prevention, and open spaces.
Proposition 4, a $10 billion statewide bond measure aimed at wildfire prevention, water supply, and park expansion, has about 60% voter support according to recent polls, indicating a significant concern for environmental initiatives in the state.
Local measures have historically led to broader environmental policies in California, underscoring their importance; as Environment California's Laura Deehan notes, 'I would encourage folks to take the time to learn about these and weigh in.'
Proposition K in San Francisco proposes transforming the Great Highway into a public park, emphasizing recreational spaces and banning private vehicles—a move prompted by the experience of road closure during the pandemic.
