Great Highway Project
繁體中文 | Español | Russian | Filipino (Google Translate)
The Great Highway is a 3.8-mile-long roadway running along Ocean Beach on the westernmost side of San Francisco. The Upper Great Highway is a two-mile segment of this roadway, between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard. On weekends, this area becomes a 17-acre park with a 2-mile promenade, while on weekdays it is a roadway with an adjacent trail.
The area, which was created and designated under San Francisco park jurisdiction in the 1870s as a space for recreation, also provides a valuable scenic public promenade that can accommodate higher volumes of use than the adjacent pathways. In addition, it offers recreational access to the beachfront to people who cannot easily use the beach itself.
Proposition K , approved by San Francisco voters in November 2024, creates a public open recreation space and permanently prohibits vehicular access along a two-mile stretch of the Upper Great Highway —between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard— giving people a safe and scenic space to walk, bike, skate and enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean. The permanent change is anticipated to occur in spring 2025.
