The Port of San Francisco is continuing the public process for the Waterfront Plan Update with Public Walking Tours (April 11 & April 14) and an Open House Workshop (April 18). These events are open to everyone. Check the Port’s website for more information on the Waterfront Plan Update: http://sfport.com/waterfront-plan-update.
What is the Waterfront Plan Update?
The Port of San Francisco Waterfront Land Use Plan (“Waterfront Plan”) sets forth land use and urban design policies for the 7Âœ miles of piers, shoreline and nearby lands under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Port Commission, from Fishermanâs Wharf to India Basin.
A major public process to update the Waterfront Plan is underway. The Waterfront Plan Working Group, assisted by seven Advisory Teams, has hosted over 30 public meetings over the past two years. In December 2017, the Working Group produced 161 Port-wide policy recommendations about how the Port should address land use, open space, maritime, transportation, environmental and waterfront resilience challenges and opportunities in the Waterfront Plan Update.
âPart 3â of the public planning process will continue through Spring 2018. Walking tours and workshops will focus on The Embarcadero Public Realm and the Northeast and South Beach areas of the waterfront. The recommendations and comments generated from this public planning process will guide Port efforts to draft amendments to update the Waterfront Plan.

Senator Scott Wiener’s frightening and terrible bill to add to his prior efforts, which he is continuing, to let bars stay open to 4 a.m. I think the first would essentially destroy San Francisco as we have known it and the second seems to have no rationale save for the potential “campaign contributions” from bars owners to echo this one’s aim at real estate developers.
