Bikes are amazing. But really any means of transportation that lets you slow down and interact with others.

I wrote a bike story aimed at drivers — on why I think more bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure can be a win-win. Gift link 🎁 for anyone still on the fence about Sunset Dunes www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

There are plenty of neighbors who now love it. Walking around the neighborhood you see so much more No on G signs. As a neighbor who lives there the park is such an improvement to an unreliable expensive road. The traffic concerns are overblown. There's more cars but there was almost none before.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com

A two-mile, car-free stretch of coastal highway where visitors bike, skateboard and stroll against a backdrop of crashing waves is at the center of a San Francisco ballot measure fight. Cyclist and families love the park, but neighbors whose streets became detours want to bring the cars back.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

hollywoodreporter.comThe Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

All this wasted money for a road that will soon lose it's usefulness when the Great Highway Extension closes.

Zach-o'-lantern@zachlipton.com

ahahaha the Controller's report on wrecking Sunset Dunes came in at $9.8M in capital costs plus $500K-$1.9M every year to maintain the road would be an unhinged use of money

There is no reason to vote on this again, 3rd time, as trafficpocalypse never came to pass. The traffic outcomes were in line as predicted. More and more people are enjoying the park. This is a waste of time and money. We have bigger fish to fry. www.instagram.com/reel/Dbv4iN9...

The Sunset Dunes opponents can learn a lesson here. People complained bitterly about tearing down the Embarcadero Freeway, but it turned out to be a great decision and opened up our thriving waterfront. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

sfchronicle.comThe thriving Embarcadero is thanks to this S.F. mayor. It cost him reelectionRazing an ugly freeway and freeing the Embarcadero likely cost this San Francisco mayor his second term. We asked if he would do it again.

Little B is sick today but feels fine, so we're doing some social distancing outdoor time at JFK Promenade and Sunset Dunes. Feeling so grateful for these peaceful, beautiful spaces where we can get our zoomies out and have a joyful Thursday sick day.

The title of the petition is misleading "The Great Highway for Everyone Act, Restoring Balanced Access to Parks and Safer Transit", I don't understand how closing a park gives balanced access to parks and safer traffic. That said Sunset Dunes is an amazing thing for the neighborhood.

The never-ending battle over the Great Highway continues. Supporters of Sunset Dunes are suing to block a ballot measure that would reopen the road to weekday traffic. missionlocal.org/2026/06/grea...

This is a ridiculous increase in cost.

Meanwhile in San Francisco my district Supervisor Alan Wong sends out endless emails about how his top priorities are to provide more parking and to rescind tree planting requirements

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

also deprives all of us of the ability to plan an actual future park I'd far rather be spending my 2026 getting cool new stuff for Sunset Dunes than marshaling the tens of thousands of person-hours it will take to relitigate the existence of the park for the third time please, I am very tired.

Jamison Foser@jamisonfoser.bsky.social

you can't have a governable city if you're just constantly re-litigating major infrastructure decisions made by voters. it's just complete chaos, ensures continued acrimony, and deprives businesses and families of the ability to plan. it's a fundamentally unserious *and undemocratic* way to exist.

Great article about the benefits of having Sunset Dunes, a park, not an obsolete roadway near your business. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Reopening the Great Highway is the last thing we needOPINION: Some candidates hoping to replace Supervisor Joel Engardio are pledging to reopen the Great Highway and close Sunset Dunes park.
