On Nov. 5, San Francisco voters approved the city’s newest park , a transformation of the southern end of the Great Highway . But the fight over that stretch of road appears to be turning into a political fight and a possible recall campaign.
“I think we could build it similar to the Highline where there’s so many different experiences to be had along the way,” said park supporter Nancy Jodaitif. “And more opportunity to build community, which is what we need to do right now.”
For supporters of San Francisco’s newest park, it was a day to think about the future of this space, while celebrating the victory of the ballot measure that will make it happen.
“The voters have spoken,” District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar told the crowd.
“This victory parade, it’s really very insensitive,” said park opponent Alyse Ceirante. “This is just obnoxious. This is rubbing our faces in it.”
The victory party also showed that the fight over Proposition K is not over. Opponents, who were outnumbered, showed up to protest the celebration.
