SAN FRANCISCO—Voters of the city will decide the fate of part of the scenic Upper Great Highway, a route that starts in San Francisco and later joins State Highway 1 that winds along the California coast for 656 miles.

Proposition K, if passed, will permanently close the Upper Great Highway, a two-mile segment between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard along Ocean Beach, to private vehicles and will turn it into a public open recreation space.
