• ... that San Franciscans voted to replace an oceanfront roadway with a park?

• Source: https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/propk-great-highway-sf-19895246.php (A ballot measure to close a 2-mile stretch of San Francisco’s Great Highway passed with 54% of the vote in returns released Saturday afternoon. The controversial proposal, known as Proposition K, will ban vehicles on the city’s westernmost coastal boulevard between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard.)

• • ALT1: ... that San Francisco's newest park is located on an oceanfront road that is now permanently closed to cars? Source: https://sfrecpark.org/1555/Sunset-Dunes (In April 2020, the Great Highway was closed to vehicles from Lincoln to Sloat to provide recreational opportunities and social distancing space during the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2021, the Great Highway reopened to vehicular traffic on weekdays while retaining the weekend park usage. In December 2022, the Board of Supervisors passed legislation establishing the Great Highway Pilot, a hybrid usage plan that closed the road to vehicles on holidays and weekends and, during which, traffic and visitor data was collected on the Great Highway’s use as both a roadway and park. In November 2024, San Francisco voters approved the passage of Proposition K, which transforms the Upper Great Highway to a permanent 24/7 recreational public park for walking, biking, rolling and more.)

• Review by Noleander

• Overall - Passed review.
• New: Okay: Article was created 9 April 2025, nominated 16 April.
• Hook: Fairly interesting: in USA it is rare to replace a road with a park; and this particular park location is very noteworthy. Primary hook is superior to Alt2 hook, in my judgement.
• Hook length is under 200 characters
• Verifiable: All important facts in article have citations. I did a spot check of about half the cites, and they are valid.
• Size: tool shows size is 2910 B (476 words) ... which meets the DYK requirements, I believe.
• Source for hook: Yes, a source is provided, and I looked at it.
• Plagiarism - I ran the Earwig copyvio tool and max % was 16%, which is within tolerances.
• POV: Article is neutral and factual.
• Images: article has one image, and it contains appropriate free use justification.
• Quid Pro Quo - Nominator says they have NOT done it yet; Cannot approve DYK until that is completed.

@BaduFerreira: Can you ping me when you've done the QPQ? Thanks. Noleander (talk) 02:41, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

• Putting this on hold until the {{merge to}} is resolved. RoySmith (talk) 14:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

@RoySmith: The nomination will be timing out on 16th, will the merge issue be addressed by then? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:04, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

If the merge isn't closed by then, can I renominate the article for DYK afterwards? BaduFerreira (talk) 15:29, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Technically this is under April 9 on TM:TDYK, so timed out yesterday. You can renominate this again if it becomes eligible again.--Launchballer 14:28, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
