San Francisco Great Highway ballot measure
Overview
San Francisco voters considered Proposition G in November 2026, a measure intended to partially reverse a 2024 decision to close a two-mile stretch of the Great Highway to vehicle traffic. The proposition sought to reopen the coastal roadway to cars on weekdays while maintaining its status as a recreational space, known as Sunset Dunes, on weekends and holidays.
Supporters of the measure argued that restoring weekday vehicle access was necessary to reduce traffic congestion and safety risks on residential side streets. Opponents, including the nonprofit Friends of Sunset Dunes, campaigned to preserve the area as a full-time public park.
Preliminary election results indicated that Proposition G was on track to fail, with approximately 37.35% approval and roughly 63% opposition. The pro-park campaign significantly outspent the reopening effort, raising over $821,000 compared to $157,000 for Proposition G.
