I am one amongst the many residents of San Francisco with cherished memories of driving along the Great Highway. Its looming closure not only threatens those personal nostalgia-filled moments, but far more importantly it would also pave the way for a significant increase in traffic congestion throughout our city. This road isn't just a path connecting places; it's a crucial part of our community's fabric.

The Great Highway has been an integral part of San Francisco's transportation system for decades. Its closure could result in traffic increases by an estimated 20-40% in residential areas, as per data provided by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). This will adversely affect the daily commute of thousands of residents and may lead to an escalation in carbon emissions.

Preserving the Great Highway isn't about safeguarding a strip of asphalt; it's about maintaining the unique character of San Francisco, reducing the environmental impact, and avoiding unnecessary stress on local road networks. Most importantly, it's about ensuring that future generations can build their own memories on this iconic road.

Take a stand for San Francisco's history, its people, and its environment. Please sign this petition to save the Great Highway.
