I, personally, would not go on the record with a reporter to announce I’m in favor of destroying the playground my kid is currently loving because I drive to work once a week (and the road still wouldn’t go there anyway), but everyone lives their lives differently I guess

Ryuka, 5, said he’d prefer to keep the park — and the playground — over a road during weekdays. “Playground,” he said softly, avoiding meeting this reporter’s gaze. “I like the ship.” Asked what would improve the park, which sits feet from Ocean Beach, he was decisive. “More sand,” he said, burying his hands in the stuff. Ads separate from the “no” campaign but featured on its Instagram page (opens in new tab) argue that car crashes in District 4 have declined since the Great Highway closed and that Sunset Dunes is the city’s third-most-popular park. Ryuka’s mom, Denise Leo, 50, supports Prop. G because it would restore the road for weekend commutes. She drives Friday mornings for work as a library aide in San Mateo and wants the option of taking the Great Highway, rather than 19th Avenue. The pathway above the highway always worked when she wanted to go for a run, anyway. Or, wait, does she oppose G? Told that a “no” vote keeps the road closed to cars, she paused. In 2024, she pointed out, it was the “no” vote that kept the highway open. “I’m gonna vote to open it,” she said, looking at her son. “Even though he likes it.”

When you see your kid in the wild and they look as awesome as you think they are. He’s riding 9 miles a day for school. Bike lanes matter. Alternative transportation matters. He could take the bus but he chooses to ride. I am so proud. That’s my kid.
