»In which the Mayor gives it forty whacks

With his anti-environmentalist hatchet, the Mayor of San Francisco has axed the proposal to close vehicle traffic in Golden Gate Park on Saturdays. The stretch of JFK between the Panhandle and 14th Avenue has closed every Sunday and holiday for the past thirty-odd years; the Mayor objected to the extended closure on the grounds that its impact was not well understood, and that voters have previously voted against this.
However, with the new underground parking in Golden Gate Park, motorized vehicles continue to have access to the park's facilities, museums, and whatnot; Newsom's formal veto, which overruled the Board of Supervisors, flies in the face of his public person as the Green Mayor.
