Board extends pilot keeping Upper Great Highway closed to cars on weekend afternoons; first reading passes 9-2
Summary
The board approved on first reading an ordinance to continue a pilot keeping the Upper Great Highway closed to private vehicles on Friday afternoons, weekends and holidays through the end of 2025, amid debate over closure hours and neighborhood impacts.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 9-2 on Dec. 6 to pass on first reading an ordinance that would keep the Upper Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard closed to private vehicles on Friday afternoons, weekends and holidays on a pilot basis through Dec. 31, 2025.
Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who introduced the measure, described the closure as a compromise that preserves weekday vehicle access while protecting a car-free promenade on Friday afternoons and weekends for pedestrians and cyclists. Supporters framed the pilot as a measured step toward climate adaptation and safer, car-free public space along Ocean Beach.
