Letter to the Editor: Urging D4 Residents to Reject Recall Effort
From the very beginning, Joel has been open and honest with his constituents – both about the inevitable closure of the Great Highway, but also his support for a permanent park. Just because some people don’t like the outcome doesn’t mean we should recall an effective supervisor.
Letter to the Editor: Opposed to Engardio Recall
I oppose the recall, not just because it is a waste of taxpayer dollars, but because Supervisor Joel Engardio has done a tremendous job on the Board of Supervisors. He deserves to finish out his term, because he has been delivering results and improving our lives since day one.

Letter to the Editor: Fight Over Upper Great Hwy a Class War

Letter to the Editor: Climate Change a Factor in UGH Closure
Supervisor Engardio listens to his District 4 constituents and has been a leader in moving the Great Highway Park closer to reality.

Commentary: Richie Greenberg
San Franciscans have been abuzz these last several months over the controversial permanent closure of a section of the west side’s Upper Great Highway.

From a Reader: Open Letter to Supervisor Joel Engardio
You have repeatedly said that you should not be recalled over a single issue, i.e., the Prop. K vote closing the Upper Great Highway (UGH). Yes, the recall is for a single issue, but the issue is not the UGH. The issue is YOU, and your behavior, lack of response and a sense of duty to those who put you in office.
