SAN FRANCISCO—Community leaders and residents from San Fransisco’s west side districts announced on March 11 the filing of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the implementation of Proposition K, a measure voters approved in November 2024 allowing authorities to close the Upper Great Highway to private vehicles and turn it into a public open recreation space.

The 2-mile stretch of the westernmost highway in San Francisco, as well as its 1.7-mile southern extension, was permanently closed March 14 to cars, as planned by San Francisco Recreation & Parks.
