Below is a link to an article on the NYT about the "controversy" about the closure of The Great Highway.
I don't live in SF anymore but. when I did, I often used the Great Highway to get to Hwy 1 &/or Skyline Blvd to drive south to the peninsula in order to avoid 19th Ave ( nee Hwy 1).
Back in the 60's you could drive the entire length of 19th Ave from Lincoln all the way past SF State w/o stopping because the signals were timed (they still are, I believe) & traffic was light enough so that you could make all of the lights without stopping.
Those days are long gone!
If I still lived in The City, I'd do everything possible to avoid driving on 19th Ave.
Sunset is an alternative but in order to get to/from there you have to drive thru Golden Gate Park &/or thru the Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset.
So, traffic congestion can only get worse on 19th, Sunset Blvd & the surrounding areas & I'm really glad that I don't live in SF anymore.
