San Francisco lawmakers, with the mayor's support, have submitted a ballot measure on Tuesday to turn a two-mile stretch of the coastal Great Highway into an oceanfront park. This proposal follows the city's history of removing freeways to improve urban landscapes, such as the transformation of the Embarcadero Freeway into the Embarcadero and the Central Freeway into Octavia Blvd and Hayes Valley. In November, San Francisco voters will decide on this measure, which aims to convert the highway into permanent open space.

OPINION: “Just as nobody today misses the freeway that used to loom over the Embarcadero, future generations will find it hard to believe that the city’s oceanfront was once a sand-covered mini-highway” — Lucas Lux and Heidi Moseson https://t.co/UQiLzZpN5j

Each time San Francisco removes a freeway, our city is better for it. The Embarcadero Freeway became the magnificent Embarcadero. The Central Freeway became Octavia Blvd & a profoundly beautiful Hayes Valley. Let’s do the same with the southern segment of other Central Freeway. https://t.co/t83xHNUuGc
