people wanted to comment on what this was behind me, the great highway. whether to keep them closed to car traffic in order to create the pilot project that would keep it for pedestrians and bikers. >> to me it felt a little like santa monica feels. that boardwalk in santa monica only better. >> reporter: she comes out here twice a week to roller blade. >> i envy people who live over here, or near this. it's really become a gift to me. >> reporter: she is fully in favor of keeping the great highway closed to vehicle traffic. supported by the group, kids say sf. >> it's been eye-opening and one of the few silver linings of the pandemic. >> reporter: city staff has presented several options, such as keeping half open to cars or opening it to cars during the week and closing it off during the weekends. he doesn't want to see a compromise like that.
