The decision resolves one of the most anticipated issues in front of the board in recent months and finalizes the transformation of a thoroughfare that leads to some of the most prominent attractions in the crown jewel of the city’s park system.

The road’s fate has been the subject of intense organizing in recent months, with rallies, letter writing and direct lobbying of supervisors trying to sway the outcome. About 70% of 10,000 respondents to a city survey said they wanted the road to stay closed to cars.

Supporters said keeping the road closed to cars was a safety and environmental issue while opponents said the closure hurt the elderly, those who lived far from the park, the park’s museums and those with disabilities.
