SAN FRANCISCO – SUNSET DUNES PARK
Lee Heidhues 1.5.2026
Once again the proponents of Sunset Dunes Park, the urban oasis adjacent to the Pacific Coast shoreline of San Francisco, have prevailed.
The advocates of Sunset Dunes Park have now prevailed twice at the ballot box and twice in the courtroom. You would think the entitled car fanatics would acknowledge reality and stop this mindless holy war to preserve their false sense of entitlement over the streets in San Francisco.
Wishful thinking no doubt. These losers are already vowing to appeal their latest loss in Court. And are hoping four San Francisco Supervisors will vote to put Sunset Dunes Park before the voters, again, in June 2026.
Less than a year and a half ago the voters approved Sunset Dunes Park with a 55 percent majority. Think the result will change in 2026. It won’t. So, my word to these losers is GET OVER IT.
Excerpted from The San Francisco Chronicle 1.5. 2026
Sunset Dunes Park will remain open after a San Francisco judge on Monday rejected a legal challenge to the 2024 ballot measure that shut down the Great Highway to create the park, according to court records.
The lawsuit, filed by pro-highway advocate Matthew Boschetto, sought to undo the voter-approved Proposition K that established Sunset Dunes in 2024 — the city’s newest and most controversial coastal park, which permanently closed the Upper Great Highway to vehicle traffic.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ross said Prop K complies with state law and rejected the suit on Monday after casting doubt on the case last week and asking attorneys to deliberate at a hearing.
Jen Kwart, spokesperson for city attorney David Chiu, said her office “appreciated the thorough discussion of these issues today.”
“We are glad the Court affirmed the will of the voters in passing Proposition K and closing the Upper Great Highway to private vehicles,” Kwart said. “We are pleased the court found the City complied with CEQA.”
Ross’s decision is a loss for Boschetto and other pro-highway advocates who have long fought to keep the Upper Great Highway open.
