City officials and agencies like SFMTA say westside traffic isn’t worse and that the data proves it. But when you dismiss the people living the experience, such data stops mattering.

A lawsuit against the City of San Francisco alleging the closure of the Upper Great Highway to make way for Sunset Dunes park was done improperly is moving forward.

Letter to the Editor: Sunset Dunes Better for Snowy Plovers Than UGH
As a native of the Richmond District, I’ve spent the better part of my life observing the fragile ecosystems along our City’s shoreline. I’d like to respond to the nonsense claim made by Raymond Wong that the Sunset Dunes park is harming the already threatened Western Snowy Plover.
Letter to the Editor: Snowy Plover Being Harmed by Sunset Dunes
After campaigning for “Yes on K” with images of the vulnerable western snowy plover to evoke sympathy and win votes, (Engardio) has now turned his back on both the bird and the Sunset community. His last-minute plan to rebrand the closed stretch as “Sunset Dunes,” with zero community input, is not just misguided – it’s dangerous.
Letter to the Editor: Closing UGH Created More Harm Than Good
This isn’t just about closing a road. It’s about removing vital infrastructure without a clear plan, while ignoring the voices of the communities most affected.
Letter to the Editor: Sunset Dunes Is the New Crown Jewel of the West Side
My first visit to Sunset Dunes was a remarkable experience. It doesn’t feel like a road anymore – it feels like an open-air community center. Kids riding bikes, couples walking hand in hand, seniors strolling with an ocean view.
Letter to the Editor: A Proud Supporter of Sunset Dunes
Don’t let a disagreement over a single vote undo decades of environmental and community building progress. Do not sign onto the misguided recall.
Commentary: Albert Chow
This recall is about restoring honest leadership and respect for community input. We deserve a supervisor who listens, engages and unites, rather than one who divides and deceives.
Letter to the Editor: ‘Cast Off Your Cars’
San Francisco’s new puritans are easily recognizable. Unlike the original puritans, who hid their bodies in long woolen clothes, our puritans wear spandex. To be accepted by these elitist puritans, “thou must own a very expensive bike.”
Letter to the Editor: Let the People Vote on the Recall of Engardio
This isn’t about politics. It’s about honesty. It’s about holding someone accountable who ran on our pain and hopes, only to turn his back once elected. We deserve better. We deserve a voice. We deserve the chance to vote on whether he still deserves to represent us.
Letter to the Editor: Against Engardio Recall
Supervisor Engardio’s position on the Great Highway closure does NOT justify a recall. While I disagreed with him on Prop. K, I also know him to be honest, hard-working and dedicated to the needs of our district as well as our City.
Big Crowd Witnesses Turning Upper Great Highway Into Sunset Dunes
Before Proposition K was on the ballot, another westside promenade stirred fervor in westsiders. Three years ago, in April of 2022, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors established a permanently car-free John F. Kennedy (JFK) Drive in Golden Gate Park, after voters voted to keep JFK walkable, as it was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most weekends out of the year before that. Five years later, it is difficult to imagine that the mile-and-a-half stretch was once one of the City’s major arteries for cars.
Letter to the Editor: UGH Closing Is Unsafe, Unjust and Unfair
Engardio’s recall is D4’s justified response to his secret legislation, lack of transparency, dishonest and manipulative narrative, and refusal to include and respect his constituents’ rights to participate in decisions that affect their safety and quality of life.
Letter to the Editor: Supporting the Recall
Supporters point to his so-called accomplishments – night markets, restoring Algebra to middle school – but these boutique wins serve only a narrow slice of District 4. What benefits everyone? Reliable transportation.
