Sunset Dunes isn’t a park. It’s a monument to privilege and denial, built on the suffering of Sunset families, disabled residents, and endangered wildlife.

What a mess Edgardo left this district. Mayor Lurie is trying, and I believe doing a great job: consistently bringing new businesses and supporting existing ones, supporting the working-class, blue-collar workers. It is not easy considering the idiocy of the state legislature (Wiener). We will see how the new Sunset District supervisor appointee fairs. At least he’s a native.
If the Great Hauntway celebration is truly inclusive to everyone, then it should be fully ADA compliant so disabled children and adults may also attend. This follows the same pattern of deceit used to establish this so-called “park” by widely spreading misinformation. The park’s events are not open to everyone if disability access is inadequate.
I want to sincerely thank Supervisor Joel Engardio for his correct and courageous decision in supporting the transformation of the Great Highway. Even in the face of opposition and political risk, he stood by what he knew was right for safety, livability and the long-term future of San Francisco.
… while the recall is behind us, the question before us is clear: How do we move forward together?
I was trying to explain to my neighbors, who had no idea why this was important to keep open during the weekdays, why it shouldn’t be closed.
Here we are. I am only glad my children are adults and I am not driving all over the City.
Through Sept. 16, residents of supervisorial District 4 will continue voting on Proposition A – the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio. Nearly 11,000 signatures were submitted on the official recall petition, a clear sign of deep dissatisfaction with Engardio.
This recall centers on a single issue: the Upper Great Highway. Firstly, recalling Engardio will not reopen the Upper Great Highway to cars. The decision to close the Upper Great Highway and create a public oceanside park was made by voters on Proposition K and no recall will reverse it.
Supervisor Engardio is trying to distract Sunset residents with talk about the Great Highway and Sunset Dunes. But this recall isn’t about roads or parks, it’s about accountability. He continues to divert attention from the real reason he’s being recalled, Supervisor Engardio has failed to represent our Sunset District.
Joel Engardio repeatedly claims that he shouldn’t be recalled over a single issue – the deceitful way he secretly placed the Prop K closure of the Upper Great Highway on the Nov. 2024 ballot against the wishes of his constituents. The recall is about HIM, and his lack the character and integrity.
There were no town halls, no real dialogue, only expedited changes pushed through without input.
As a former supervisor for the district and an elected member of the San Francisco Democratic Party County Central Committee, I believe the Party made the right choice on Aug. 27th in voting to take a No Endorsement position.
In less than one month, a nearly year-long effort to oust District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio will occur on one condition: People get out and vote yes on Proposition A.
As longtime residents of District 4, I and my neighbors feel compelled to speak out in defense of our current Supervisor, Joel Engardio, whose contributions to our community have been significant, responsible and visionary.
The lived experience of D-4 residents is peppered with impacts. Where we go, how we get there and what we do have become a complicated process of considering safety, transportation constraints, time and family well-being. We have reached a point where enough is enough.
