San Francisco voters appear to have approved a series of changes

San Francisco Voters are set to approve a series of changes to the city.

There are still about 143,000 votes left to count in the city, but it appears voters have approved a series of changes to government oversight and the way people move around the city.

Voters had their say Tuesday and it appears they approved a series of changes.

When it comes to government oversight, it appears voters gave the green light to Measure C, creating the inspector general position to root out corruption and negligence in city government.

Board of Supervisors Chairman and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin wrote Measure C and says he’s gratifying that voters appear to be on the right path to establishing new oversight and fending off future scandals.

“Proposition C is going to work,” Peskin said. “The first thing this is going to do is send a very clear signal to everyone who is cheating, to everyone who is considering corruption, that there is a new sheriff in town, so to speak, and they Better think twice.”

Peskin also authored Measure E, which ran counter to Proposition D. Both aimed to streamline San Francisco’s government by eliminating unnecessary commissions.

Measure D, which would have reduced commissions from more than 100 to just 65, appears headed for defeat, but voters appear to be giving the green light to Measure E, which would create a task force that would recommend which commissions should be cut. February 2026.

“Proposition E, which was well-executed commission reform,” Peskin said. “Done with public input, done with transparency, transparently in the light of day.”

Voters appear poised to approve Proposition K as well as the transformation of 3 kilometers of the Grande Autoroute into a park and its closure to automobiles.

Opponents of K feared that closing the major highway would push more than 14,000 automobiles into surrounding neighborhoods each day.

Supporters say traffic can be shifted to 19th Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, and hope the remaining votes will continue to enjoy the support K has seen so far. “We had people with signs trying to provide visibility as people went to the polls, and we felt a lot of positive energy,” said Heidi Moseson of Yes on K. “It was exciting, we We got a lot of honks and bumps and a lot of cheers and it was hopeful.”

Voters also appear poised to approve Measure A, with bonds supporting school improvements. Measure B commits to improving the city’s health care facilities and Measure M cuts taxes on small businesses, like restaurants.
