While the race for Prop K is yet to be officially called, the count is swaying in its favor.
Supporters like Lucas Lux are excited as 54% of ballots counted so far have approved the measure.
“We’re feeling really hopeful. 117,000 San Franciscans votes have yet to be counted but with each additional count the margin is growing, and we hope that when all the votes are done being counted we’ll enjoy a very strong mandate that San Franciscans want to enjoy their coast as a place to recreate,” said Lux.
If passed, Prop K would permanently close the Upper Great Highway to cars and turn the area into a park.
“One, we get to preserve our coast for future generations and that alone is something we should be really proud of. And the second thing it’ll do is make the coast more accessible for people to enjoy in more ways. So people pushing strollers, wheelchairs, riding a bike. I taught my son to ride a bike there,” said Lux.
