Official date is April 12, 2025….But cars will be permanently banished in less than two weeks.
“Upper Great Highway will close permanently to cars Friday March 14, 2025.”
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Annual Sand moving operation at Great Highway Park March 14, 2025. Over the following weeks Friends of Ocean Beach Park will be working closely with SFMTA, SFPUC, and Rec & Park on major traffic and safety improvements at the Great Highway’s intersections—making it easier to access the park by foot, bike, and transit. At the same time, crews will be setting up seating areas, recreation spaces, and the first round of temporary public art installations.
It’s official. San Francisco voters citywide approved Proposition K with a 55 percent majority last November which mandated Great Highway Park as a two mile oasis along the Pacific Coast shoreline.
Six weeks from now this stretch of land will officially become a permanently car free oasis.
This landmark accomplishment, in large part due to the advocacy of former Mayor London Breed, will cement San Francisco’s reputation as an environmental leader.
