The Marina Green waterfront in San Francisco is at risk of being turned into a harbor for 40-foot yachts. The Recreation and Park Department plans to build a 235-slip harbor, but many residents are unaware of this. The plan is a result of a legal battle between the city and PG&E, and it goes against the stipulations of the lawsuit. There is a chance to stop it if certain supervisors pass a new ordinance.
In the song “Big Yellow Taxi,” Joni Mitchell famously sings, “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone?.” The Marina Green waterfront — an iconic symbol of our city — will soon be gone if the Recreation and Park Department goes through with a plan to build a 235-slip harbor at that very location, and most San Franciscans are unaware of it. This ill-conceived plan is the result of a legal battle between The City and PG&E .
Instead of cleaning up PG&E’s toxic waste and rebuilding Gashouse Cove in the East Marina as the lawsuit stipulated, RPD worked out a deal with PG&E in which it would relocate half of the east harbor, leaving Gashouse Cove to silt over. But there may be time to stop it if supervisors Ahsha Safai, Aaron Peskin and Connie Chan successfully pass their Gashouse Cove Project ordinance in the coming weeks. If you, too, don’t want to see the Marina Green waterfront become a parking lot for 40-foot yachts, write a letter of support to your district supervisor and the mayor today

San Antonio Museums Thrive in 2023 with Exhibitions and Leadership ChangesSan Antonio museums had a busy 2023 highlighted by memorable exhibitions, leadership changes and new developments.
