Seawall Program Event Tomorrow at 2 PM, Pier 1

Posted on by

Tomorrow, the Port of San Francisco will share information about the Seawall Program and their work to create a more sustainable and resilient waterfront by addressing immediate life safety upgrades. The event will take approximately 90 minutes, including remarks by Port Executive Director Elaine Forbes and President of the Port Commission Kimberly Brandon and a walking tour along the Embarcadero Seawall, which always has great photo opportunities. RSVP to Kelley.McCoy@sfport.com.

The Port is leading the Seawall Earthquake Safety and Disaster Prevention Program, a citywide effort to strengthen the Seawall. Built in 1879, the Embarcadero Seawall is one of San Francisco’s oldest pieces of infrastructure. For more than a century the Seawall has served us well, but it is now in need of significant improvements to withstand the next major earthquake and protect us from an increase in flooding from sea level rise.

What: Seawall Earthquake Safety and Disaster Prevention Program Neighborhood Media Event
When: Wednesday, May 16, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Where: Pier 1, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111 (Port of San Francisco)

Lee Radner Has Passed Away

Posted on by

We are sad to report that our dear friend and supporter Lee Radner passed away yesterday. Lee was a stalwart in the 15-year fight to save the Bay Club at The Gateway (aka Golden Gateway Tennis & Swim Club) from being demolished to build luxury high-rise condominiums and a “wall on the waterfront.” Lee will be deeply missed by our community.
