The Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco is set for a $35 million renovation, with a community meeting held to gather input on the redesign. Advocates assert that the project is crucial for rejuvenating a neglected space and re-establishing it as a vibrant center connecting the Ferry Building to the city's downtown. Despite support, concerns over the project's cost and timing persist. Improvements include a new green space, retail kiosks, a musician's stage, and public art, aimed at transforming the currently dilapidated plaza into a welcoming environment.
"It's dilapidated. It has sunken brick. It has a fountain that hasn't worked in a decade," said San Francisco Supervisor Danny Sauter.
"It's not a welcoming space right now. But this project is going to change that," Sauter said.
"I would spend the money to make the fountain run again," said Karen Calbert of San Francisco.
"It's going to have beautiful new green space. It's going to have kiosks for retail. It's going to have a new stage for musicians. It's going to have public art," Sauter said.
