John Rothmann: The voters will decide!

If approved by voters, the measure would reverse a decision the Board of Supervisors made less than three months ago on a 7-4 vote to keep JFK Drive car-free permanently. Specifically, JFK Drive would reopen to car traffic on weekdays as well as Saturdays from October to March. The Great Highway from Skyline Boulevard to Lincoln Way would also be open to cars seven days a week under the measure. The ballot measure is sure to intensify the impassioned debate among residents over the future of car-free streets in San Francisco, and car-free supporters have vowed to fight the Access for All measure.

It won’t be the only JFK Drive measure on the November ballot. A group of city supervisors submitted a separate ballot measure last month to codify the Board of Supervisors’ decision on car-free JFK Drive in response to the signature-gathering effort. Both measures would need 50% voter approval to pass, though the supervisors’ measure would supersede the Access for All measure if it gets more votes.
