The renewal project of the Capitola Wharf, a cherished landmark, included replacing over 100 wooden support piles, enhancing durability and restoring the beloved structure for public enjoyment.
It's really iconic Capitola, the city's public works director Jessica Kahn said of the wharf. Many generations of people learned how to fish out here. Locals take morning strolls. It's super popular for tourists.
I'm just really pleased that we actually have this back, said Soden, 62, a retired public works inspector. I went through withdrawals after it fell. The wharf is part of our community.
President Biden and Gov. Newsom visited the site, emphasizing its importance as a major tourist attraction and pledging support for its restoration.
