In 1998, the voters approved an ordinance authorizing construction of an underground public parking garage below the Music Concourse, with entrances and exits outside Golden Gate Park. The garage is currently under construction.

Plans developed for the garage include an entrance-exit outside of Golden Gate Park. Plans also include an entrance-exit inside the Park with dedicated access lanes that start outside of the Park. Two dedicated access lanes will be added to the lanes of automobile traffic on a section of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

THE PROPOSAL: Proposition G is an ordinance that would allow the underground parking garage to have an entrance-exit inside Golden Gate Park if there is also a separate entrance-exit outside the Park. Dedicated access lanes that lead from outside the Park would not be required.

Proposition G also would limit the number of lanes of automobile traffic in the area of Golden Gate Park near the Music Concourse. Both Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Ninth Avenue, between Lincoln Way and Concourse Drive, would be limited to a single lane of automobile traffic in each direction.
