The consent calendar passed without public opposition. Resolutions adopted included authorization to award a professional services contract for Pier 94/96 seismic assessment to Moffatt & Nichol (Resolution 2533); a construction contract for maintenance dredging 2025–2030 to the Dutra Group (Resolution 2534); three professional services contracts for Waterfront Resilience/Embarcadero early projects (Resolutions 2535–2537); an amendment to a lease with the YMCA of San Francisco (Resolution 2538); and a retroactive modification extending a construction substantial‑completion date for the WRP Wharf J‑9 replacement project (Resolution 2539). Staff presented the itemized dollar amounts and initial contract terms during the consent presentation.

On a separate agenda action (Resolution 2540), commissioners approved terminating the existing exclusive‑negotiating agreement and term sheet that tied Seawall Lot 330 and Pier 3032 together, and authorized new separate ENAs: one to move forward with Seawall Lot 330 (housing‑focused) and a second to continue evaluating options for Pier 3032. Staff described the change as a formal separation so the seawall lot housing project can proceed (estimated 713 units with 25% affordable at completion in the proposal) and produce early revenue streams and local financing capacity to seed later work on the pier. The commission voted to move the item forward and then approved the motion unanimously.

Commission discussion and public testimony emphasized job and apprenticeship commitments, neighborhood outreach and the need to find funding to close a multi‑hundred‑million dollar gap on the pier program. Developers and unions spoke in support of advancing the Seawall Lot 330 negotiation to produce housing and union jobs while port staff will continue to explore funding and design options for Pier 3032 over the coming 18 months.

Votes at a glance
- Consent calendar (Resolutions 2533–2539): adopted unanimously. Items included: Pier 94/96 seismic services ($2,900,500; Resolution 2533); Maintenance dredging construction contract to Dutra Group ($31,663,500 + 10% contingency; Resolution 2534); Waterfront Resilience early projects professional services contracts (three contracts totaling approximately $23.8M; Resolutions 2535–2537); YMCA lease amendment (Resolution 2538); WRP Wharf J‑9 substantial‑completion extension, retroactive (Resolution 2539).
- Item 12 (Resolution 2540): motion to terminate the combined ENA/term sheet and approve new, separate ENAs for Seawall Lot 330 and Pier 3032 — motion approved unanimously.

What the actions mean
Staff framed the separation as pragmatic: Seawall Lot 330 is housing‑focused and can generate near‑term public financing (including an IFD/CFD seed estimated at roughly $60–70 million) that would help later finance pier rehabilitation and resilience work. Pier 3032 remains a large, capital‑intensive project requiring substantial external funding; staff will return with detailed options at 6, 12 and 18 months.

The commission record shows broad support from neighborhood groups and labor organizations for proceeding with the seawall lot while acknowledging the remaining financial and technical risks for the pier.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jul 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Port Commission unanimously adopted a set of seven consent resolutions and approved a revised negotiating approach that separates Seawall Lot 330 and Pier 3032 so housing on the seawall lot can advance while staff examines options and funding for the pier.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551248,"SFMTA presents Central Embarcadero safety project; bikeway extension will require parking, median changes and left‑turn restrictions",1392,3600000,4992000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346110-390aef828015ddecdcbaed835482678a&start=3600&end=4992","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346110-390aef828015ddecdcbaed835482678a/thumbnail_3600000.jpg","/articles/6551248/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/SFMTA-presents-Central-Embarcadero-safety-project-bikeway-extension-will-require-parking-median-changes-and-leftturn-restrictions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551248-f60886233dd3cfa3e6ccec7ee581bb13/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168390&Signature=FxGDZbk4kCrinMs59aEHmaN3TS8kw4iisYvhdLdznj5N9fGNejfefSos6dNzsuKiLPkE~KznlLEz98pdbToxoW~~5TqQRb5zxjq8ZnqbXrzExbRkBVabF7D2JgW12vXYF-JJXGY-5xHu8BWxKMsgBRWo3~x76REZSEcHvHtT-DmuLmrsDhr0I1zVmdE99sraLqTEVqbxWY5WoFpy~HWUSFYDfq702HS4mcN7c-~QIul~NTUYt9mlC-JyZ9sEpdxfVpuoR-69usKU80I79Ef3IN-WoumA0Bwl~VFvJiAldCkzKHY~vVvgXwQvs167fan~w2X~HM1QRnBe~hsybgZzOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), presented an informational briefing to the Port Commission on the Central Embarcadero Safety Project, a phased effort to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety along the Embarcadero while maintaining vehicle circulation, loading access and transit reliability.

SFMTA Principal Planner Casey Hildreth and Port planner Jai Jackson described the project as a two‑part program: targeted updates to the existing quick‑build corridor between Broadway and Mission, and a more capital‑intensive bikeway extension from Folsom Street south to Brannan. The effort is funded in part by competitive grants (staff said the project is “fully funded” after receiving over $8 million in grants) and includes about 50 curb ramp upgrades and a significant number of ADA improvements that have driven the project’s design timeline.

Design trade‑offs. To create a protected two‑way bikeway without eliminating the promenade or northbound vehicle lanes, SFMTA said the project will: remove some on‑street parking; narrow center medians (which will require removal of about 15 existing palm trees with a stated goal of one‑for‑one replanting in the corridor); and introduce new northbound left‑turn restrictions at Brannan and Folsom streets. The median narrowing will allow vehicle lanes to shift toward the center trackway and make room on the bay side for a raised, protected bikeway separated by a barrier; SFMTA said ornamental cobblestones salvaged from the medians would be incorporated into the barrier.

Loading and operations. The project includes changes to curb management intended to preserve loading capacity: conversion of some parking to passenger and commercial loading zones (including additional loading in front of Rincon restaurants), and potential hybrid curb zones. SFMTA staff said they will coordinate closely with port tenants, the Fire Department and transit agencies to ensure emergency access and Muni vehicle operations are preserved.

Pedestrian crossings and enforcement. SFMTA emphasized raised waiting islands, new pedestrian islands, and traffic‑calming features at key crossings near the Ferry Building and Clay Street. Commissioners and public commenters raised enforcement concerns for wheeled users who continue to use the promenade; SFMTA said additional signage, physical measures, and outreach will be considered though enforcement relies in part on SFPD resources.

Timeline and next steps. Staff said they are approaching 65% design and hope to complete approvals later this summer and finish design early next year with construction beginning in 2026, ideally outside of the baseball season. SFMTA described ongoing interdepartmental review, additional stakeholder outreach and coordination with the Waterfront Resilience Program.

Public comment and commissioners’ concerns focused on loading, drop‑off (Uber/Lyft/valet), emergency vehicle access, enforcement of promenade rules for e‑bikes and scooters and preserving palm trees where feasible.","SFMTA and Port staff briefed the commission on a Central Embarcadero Safety Project that will extend a protected two‑way bikeway south of Folsom to Brannan and revise crossings and loading zones between Broadway and Brannan to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551243,"Private foundation offers 12 temporary sculptures for waterfront; Port to pilot phased public‑art trail",574,9866000,10440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346110-390aef828015ddecdcbaed835482678a&start=9866&end=10440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346110-390aef828015ddecdcbaed835482678a/thumbnail_9866000.jpg","/articles/6551243/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Private-foundation-offers-12-temporary-sculptures-for-waterfront-Port-to-pilot-phased-publicart-trail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551243-2595caf7242f7613a95d91d4fd2e3c79/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168390&Signature=VA9xyJpOKLOkFzuShmZdRXaWtxHkauJ9rsa6uRTSmjEhbE7B752QOYfoOQE25mseYhfiGkvqtSgNHM6hxenU9f0qXF-hK1ZsyrQXgDz4bfDPIad8UaE6OMfNKRwK~oH9Pblji8mm~EQndh6sWvu7fH6182zYh9dyVidP30taSR3LYXDi7iuPTVpcShhOCMcuSm3E3PU6K~ZevaQ5j~8OAXUAaqcBdqnThwtwhxlw0G-~PYNq10afA4Xw7GWtSNNfNY7ferbwoTMgdDEfiCr8BoXYyvczfPABECkSRN3J2CpE-t1-eNN3b5k-f2wbOvSb43fiNMNmNUbiYKiN2B1SaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port Commission received an informational presentation on a privately funded, temporary public‑art proposal that would place up to 20 works along the waterfront, with a first phase of 12 installations proposed between Heron’s Head Park and Fisherman’s Wharf.

Amy Cohen (Port business generation manager) and Ryan Wassom (Port planner) described a partnership with Building 180 (an art production agency) and the Sabrandy Foundation (Sid and Karen Sabrani, donors) to underwrite a waterfront “art walk” featuring large‑scale temporary sculptures and integrated wayfinding. Building 180 said the Sabrandy Foundation aims to place 100 public sculptures citywide by 2028 and is offering the first 12 installations as a gift to the city at no cost to taxpayers.

Site selection and timeline. Port staff presented top choices and backups for twelve initial locations (Pier 45 Plaza, Pier 27 cruise terminal lawn, Pier 7, Pier 1½, Harry Bridges Plaza in front of the Ferry Building, Bridwell/Bridal Plaza, Pier 14, Brannan Street Wharf, Pier 52 boat launch, Bayfront Park at Chase Center, Crane Cove Park, and Heron’s Head Park). Staff said they are following a phased approach to address engineering, safety, permitting and stewardship and hope to install the first phase in October 2025. Building 180 noted the installations are privately funded and the initiative would include QR‑coded interpretive content and marketing to promote a mapped waterfront walk.

Port public‑art program alignment. Cohen said the port’s public art program (finalized 2023) allows externally sponsored temporary art with executive director approval and a public presentation to the commission; staff reviewed engineering feasibility and risk and narrowed selections to a primary and backup for each location. The port will complete outreach to adjacent tenants and neighbors and finalize licensing and permitting.

Public comment and partner support. Testimony from the Ferry Building general manager, the Giants’ Mission Rock representative and local arts organizations expressed support. Commissioners praised the proposal’s potential to activate the waterfront and encouraged coordination of programming and dynamic digital content via QR codes to link artists, neighborhood events and other waterfront activity. There was no formal vote; this was an informational item.","The Sabrandy Foundation and Building 180 proposed installing 12 temporary sculptures along the Port of San Francisco waterfront this fall, creating a curated art walk from Heron's Head to Fisherman's Wharf with private funding and ports staff oversight.","actionData","errors"]
