The San Francisco County government meeting on July 4, 2025, focused on the ongoing developments at Pier 70, highlighting infrastructure improvements and future plans for the area. Cathal Hennessy, a representative from the port, presented details about the construction progress, including the restoration of the original metal frame of a building and the installation of new pavers and landscaping elements specific to the pier.

Key features discussed included the installation of trash cans, benches, bike racks, and interpretive signs that will provide historical context and wayfinding for visitors. Hennessy emphasized the importance of these enhancements in improving the user experience at Pier 70.

A significant point of discussion was the master encroachment agreement between the city and FC Pier 70, which involves telecommunications infrastructure. Hennessy noted that third-party firms have yet to complete their contracts, and the conduits will remain under the ownership of FC Pier 70 until they are sold, at which point the encroachment agreement will terminate.

The meeting also addressed the acceptance of various infrastructure improvements, including the establishment of street widths and the delegation of authority to the public works director for a small segment of sidewalk. However, the seawall improvements, which are part of a future park project, were not included in the acceptance package at this time.

Following the presentation, there was no public comment on the agenda items, and the committee moved to recommend both items to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The motion passed with unanimous support from committee members.

Overall, the meeting underscored the ongoing efforts to enhance Pier 70 as a vital part of San Francisco's waterfront, with plans for further development and community engagement in the future.
