A group in San Francisco has gathered enough signatures for the "Uses of the Great Highway and JFK Drive", which will appear on the ballot in November 8th election.

This proposition:

• Opens up JFK Drive to private motor vehicles on weekdays. (It's currently been closed to cars for about 2 years)

• Opens up the "Great Highway" on all days. (It's currently closed on weekends, and about 1/3rd of the year due ocean erosion).

• Limits the city's ability to close Great Highway or JFK in the future

• Prevents the city from Southern Great Highway. The city had previously planned to close the highway and rebuild the beach in its place, as rising sea levels & erosion have been pushing the sea line inwards towards the road.
