If approved, the November ballot measure would reopen JFK Drive to cars on weekdays, and would be closed for pedestrians only on weekends and holidays.
If approved, the November ballot measure would reopen JFK Drive to cars on weekdays, and would be closed for pedestrians only on weekends and holidays for six months of the year. The Great highway would also be restored to vehicles only seven days a week from Lincoln Way to Skyline Boulevard.
JFK Drive initially closed during the pandemic as a way to encourage residents to enjoy fresh air, go on a walk or ride their bike. In response to its success, the Board of Supervisors voted to permanently shut down the eastern portion of the road to vehicles, turning it into a pedestrian-only street.
Organizers of Access for All, a group advocating for those with disabilities, older adults and families living around the park, say this closure has significantly reduced parking spots and congested neighborhood streets. They also say it's greatly cut access to the park for those who depend on their car to travel around.
