When discussing the Great Highway in San Francisco, it’s important to understand these points: 1. What’s already been decided? 2. What’s proposed for the future? 3. What’s staying the same? Watch this short video or read a longer explanation here: engardio.com/blog/great-high… WHAT’S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED Both directions of the Great Highway south of Sloat are set to close due to coastal erosion. This has already been legislated. That means we will never again be able to use the Great Highway as a direct connection to Daly City and the 280. Traffic from Daly City will have to use Skyline and go around the zoo. Traffic from San Francisco will need to turn left at Sloat and continue south past Lake Merced. WHAT’S PROPOSED FOR THE FUTURE Without a direct connection to Daly City, we have to think about what is the best use of the section between Lincoln and Sloat. This is an opportunity to reimagine the space for the next century as an oceanside park. This includes improving traffic flow on Lincoln and Sunset Boulevard to get people where they need to go. WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME The Great Highway will remain open to cars 24/7 from the Richmond neighborhoods to Lincoln allowing full access to the Cliff House, Beach Chalet, soccer fields, the Ocean Beach parking lot, and anywhere in the Sunset from Lincoln.
