A proposal to reopen S.F.'s Great Highway, now home to Sunset Dunes Park, to cars on weekdays has qualified for the November election. This will be the 3rd time in 4 years that San Franciscans have voted on whether to allow cars on the highway. @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/g...

Closing the 4th St bridge to cars and opening it to trams and people would make this deadly intersection safer and make transit more reliable. Let's do it. See this vision in action in this illustration from our blog post on the topic www.safestreetrebel.com/blog/communi...

Snake Plissken@ralphlorenzo.bsky.social

we really gotta close 4th street bridge to cars. Stuck waymo was completely blocking the T during rush hour today causing a huge backup.

DIRECT ACTION GETS THE GOODS: Turns out there WAS room for more safety improvements at 4th and Channel St, as the community-installed curb extension has been officially replaced with a separated bike lane. This is a start, but we need MORE here and across the city.

Infrastructure always beats more cops, but not everybody has gotten the message. We're headed to the community meeting they've chosen to hold at the police station (🤦🏾‍♀️) to drive the point home. Apr. 9, 1251 3rd St be there.

We’re back. Two weeks ago, a driver killed a 2 year-old child at 4th and Channel—the third pedestrian fatality of 2026. Since then, all SFMTA has done was repaint the existing crosswalks for a photo op. So the community took matters into our own hands.

This action shows that improvements can be made quickly, outside of multimillion dollar reconstruction projects and a mayor who’s afraid to change an unsustainable status quo. The city has done nothing significant to improve street safety in the vast majority of the 141 traffic deaths since 2022.

We installed a curb extension using the same temporary materials the city uses on the southwest corner, immediately next to where the child was killed and her mother injured by the driver. This shortens crossing distances for people walking and slows turning traffic towards the adjacent crosswalk.

One of the many ways one can be anti fascist is to be pro public transit, to fight for communities where people can walk and bike safely, and to oppose the onslaught of cars in our cities. cars bring isolation and harm, streets for the people build community and let us resist.

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back. 1/3

The recall shows a few things: -Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in 2022 immediately turned on him the minute he did the only visionary act of his career. 2/3

-Initial data indicates the recall —despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency. -More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park. 3/3
