""I'm not a real big supporter of recall elections, but .. we were told .. our constituency that we have here in the Sunset was misrepresented," Coghlan said. "There's traffic.""
""Everything from forcing 20,000 cars a day onto high-injury corridors to taking people long ways, circuitous routes to get about their daily life," said Richard Corriea, lead organizer for the Recall Engardio campaign."
""For people on the fence. I'm saying, you know, vote no for now because next year I'm up for election anyway. And you can judge me on all the issues against all the candidates.""
Polling sites in San Francisco's Sunset District opened for a recall vote on Supervisor Joel Engardio. The recall centers on Engardio's endorsement of Prop K, which closed a portion of the Great Highway and replaced it with Sunset Dunes Park. Opponents blame the change for increased traffic on nearby high-injury corridors and for forcing longer, circuitous routes for daily travel. Recall organizers and volunteers campaigned outside businesses and polling locations. Rec and Parks reports the new park became one of the most popular since its April opening. If Engardio is recalled, the mayor would appoint an interim supervisor until next year's election.
