San Franciscans Are Fighting for Their Lives' Over One Great Highway
Briefly

Proposition K on the San Francisco ballot would permanently close the flat, two-mile stretch of the Great Highway to cars, turning it over to cyclists, pedestrians, roller skaters, and dogs, establishing a vision for a new major park similar to New York's High Line.
Supporters of Proposition K see the stretch as a missed opportunity for green space in a city known for its crowded urban environment; they argue that transforming the Great Highway could enhance recreational options for residents.
In the backdrop of this contentious vote, sentiments run high as local activists express deep emotional connections to the future of their community space, seeing the fight over the road's closure as emblematic of broader issues facing urban residents.
