SAN FRANCISCO - A controversial park on San Francisco's west side took another step closer to being a reality. Park rangers closed the gate to traffic on the Great Highway on Friday morning and park supporters hope they don't open again.

A group of residents on the west side of San Francisco have filed a lawsuit in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the Great Highway from becoming a permanent park.

The battle over the Great Highway in San Francisco has already been fought at the ballot box, and now it will move to a courtroom.
