Sunset Dunes opponents appeal S.F. court decision to keep Great Highway a park

"When a public agency chooses to pursue an initiative that may have significant environmental impacts, voters can fairly expect and rely on prior completion of California's state-mandated environmental review process."

"In 2024, voters had to decide whether to close 'a major public roadway' without knowing the environmental impact."

A group of Sunset residents is appealing a court ruling that dismissed their arguments against a ballot measure closing the Great Highway to vehicles. The measure aimed to create a new city park and was passed by nearly 55 percent of voters. The appeal, filed by attorney Susan Brandt-Hawley, argues that the city supervisors should have conducted an environmental review before placing the measure on the ballot. The case will be heard in the First District Court of Appeal, focusing on the environmental implications of closing a major public roadway.
