Supervisor Alan Wong Continues Advocacy to Reopen the Great Highway Until the 5pm Deadline
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 13, 2026) – On Tuesday at 1pm, Supervisor Alan Wong shared that a proposed ballot measure to reopen the Great Highway to vehicles on weekdays had two of the four necessary signatures. Supervisor Connie Chan was added as a signatory. The measure still needs two more signatures by Tuesday at 5pm to make it on the June 2026 ballot.
“My best hope and strategy is to secure the support of supervisors that had previously taken a position of No on K and opposed closure of the Great Highway to vehicles,” said Supervisor Alan Wong. “We have a narrow window and my office is still doing our best to advocate and reach out to the two possible remaining signatories. The proposal is very straightforward. It rescinds Proposition K and allows vehicle access on weekdays and closure for recreation on weekends.”
“14,000 people relied on the Great Highway each day to get to work, school, and essential destinations,” said Supervisor Alan Wong. “When that access was removed, those trips didn’t go away. Traffic was redirected onto neighborhood streets and already busy corridors, changing what everyday life looks like for families, seniors, and small businesses across the Sunset. I need to listen to my constituents and prioritize daily commutes to work, school and essential services over weekday recreational use.”
Six weeks into his term, Supervisor Alan Wong made it a priority to listen carefully, engage with residents, and put forward a proposal that reflected what he heard from much of the district. He noted that while voters have been asked to choose between opening or closing the Great Highway, they have never had the chance to consider a middle-ground option.
The proposal would restore a shared-use approach, allowing the corridor to support daily commuting and school drop-offs during the week, while remaining open for recreation on weekends, when usage is highest.
“This wasn’t about choosing one side over another,” Supervisor Alan Wong said. “It was about recognizing that this space can serve different needs at different times, and that sharing it thoughtfully is how it works best.”
Supervisor Alan Wong is still working to garner two more signatures and his strategy is to build support from supervisors who previously opposed closing the Great Highway to vehicles on weekdays. The remaining supervisors have indicated they are continuing to listen to constituents and take calls. Supervisor Wong’s office expects an update by the end of the day.
