Pier 70 plan stirs anew

From today’s Examiner, “Officials are once again trying to tackle one of the most challenging development sites in San Francisco: Pier 70. On Tuesday, Port of San Francisco officials will present a proposal to the Port Commission to create a master plan for the 65-acre site near 20th and Illinois streets. The hope is to work with consultants on the plan for the next year and call for development proposals by spring of 2007.”

“With lovely historic warehouses, great waterfront views and underutilized land next to the Third Street Light Rail, Pier 70 is natural for development.”

“Visions for the area have included reusing the warehouses for film studios and arts space while building restaurants, hotels and parks along the shore.”

“Corinne Woods, a member of the Central Waterfront Advisory Group, said officials need to move quickly to see what is feasible for the site because the historic buildings are falling apart.”
