The Vaillancourt Fountain at Embarcadero Plaza faces potential removal as restoration costs exceed the project budget, with estimates around $29 million. Unsafe conditions have led to its closure to the public. The proposed $30 million renovation does not include the fountain in the redesign. Public support is low, and city officials confirmed during a community meeting that the fountain is not part of the updated plans. Concerns about its condition are deepening, raising challenges for its preservation amid financial constraints.
At a community meeting, an SF Rec and Parks official stated that restoring the Vaillancourt Fountain exceeds the project's budget due to its hazardous condition and high repair costs.
The estimated cost to repair the fountain fully is about $29 million, nearly the total budget for renovating the entire park area, which complicates its restoration.
