Great Highway or four-lane "walkway"?

The best thing about Matt Charnock's anti-car interpretation of the Great Highway issue is the stunning picture under the title.

This hymn to the city's goofy Slow Streets policy is all you need to get Charnock's drift:

San Francisco’s Slow Street corridors continue to exist as a nearly universally applauded program that began during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Denizens of the seven-by-seven have embraced these car-free roads in glorious unison — crisscrossing the Golden Gate Park and other more concrete areas, like the Mission District and the Haight-Ashbury, atop of bicycles, scooters, skateboards, and even the odd pair of roller skates....

"Glorious unison" about closing the Great Highway to cars? 

Not surprising that Charnock doesn't mention a petition to keep it open to traffic now has more than 11,000 signatures.
