Opponents Sue San Francisco Over 55% Voter-Approved Closure of Two-Mile Great Highway, Requesting Injunction Before Friday

Opponents of San Francisco's Proposition K, which allows for the permanent closure of a two-mile stretch of the Great Highway to vehicles, have announced plans to sue the city and its Board of Supervisors. The lawsuit claims that the measure, approved by nearly 55% of voters, violates state law by permitting an unauthorized roadway closure and failing to conduct an environmental impact review. During a press conference, opponents argued that the measure was misrepresented to voters, asserting that if the public had been fully informed, the outcome would have been different. Approximately 60 individuals gathered in support of the lawsuit, which seeks an injunction to halt the planned closure set for Friday. The legal challenge emphasizes that the city allegedly ignored state authority in placing the measure before voters.
