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 filed a lawsuit against the city and its Board of Supervisors. The lawsuit claims that the measure, approved by nearly 55% of voters, violates California law by permitting an unauthorized roadway closure and failing to conduct an environmental impact review. The legal complaint names the City of San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors, the Recreation and Parks Department, and five individual supervisors as defendants. The opponents argue that the city unlawfully placed the measure before voters, asserting that the decision does not reflect the true will of the people. A press conference was held to discuss the lawsuit, which seeks an injunction to halt the planned closure scheduled for Friday. Approximately 60 opponents gathered to rally in support of the lawsuit, emphasizing the urgency of their legal challenge as the closure date approaches.
