On Friday, a two mile stretch of San Francisco’s Great Highway was permanently closed to vehicles. It’s being transformed into a pedestrian-only park, after city voters passed Prop K in November.

But not everyone supports the change. In fact, a lawsuit was filed against the city and its Board of Supervisors last week by opponents to the closure, calling the move ‘legally invalid.’
