Supporters of the JFK Promenade are hoping to build off of the momentum of Prop. J’s victory. “The JFK Promenade is really just getting started as one of the city’s most treasured and joyful public spaces.'
Days before the election, supporters of Proposition J, the measure to affirm JFK Promenade’s permanent car-free status, were raising the alarm. The race was going to be a close one, polling showed, and many voters were getting confused about the differences between Prop. J and Prop. I, the competing measure that would bring cars back to JFK and the Great Highway on weekends.
But until the election, Prop. J supporters weren’t so confident that would be the case. “I went into last night preparing for a really bad night,” Lindsey said on Wednesday. “I almost fell over” when the first batch of results were released, Lindsey said, “it was so beyond what we were expecting.” The Yes on I campaign — which was trying to restore car access to JFK and the Great Highway — also felt the Golden Mile project had an impact on the election.
According to early returns, which account for roughly half of all ballots, there are stark geographical divides separating those who wish to keep JFK and the Great Highway car-free, and those who don’t. Still, Prop. J was broadly popular, and the voters it brought to the polls may have had an impact on Prop. L, the extension of the half-cent transportation sales tax. Like Prop. J, Prop L. was polling poorly leading up to the election, and supporters were worried. But with roughly half of the votes in, Prop. L had about 69% of the vote, slightly above the ⅔ majority the measure needs to pass.
