THE PIER PROMENADE 45 WHAT IF we could stich the waterfront together with a continuous ribbon of arts, culture, food, hospitality, and 39 entertainment? An expanded vision for public-oriented destinations on San Francisco’s waterfront. Enhancing and redefining the FORT MASON 35 economic viability of facilities and public spaces within the AQUATIC PARK Embarcadero Historic District. How do we create additional authentic destinations? How do we drive greater access and 33 circulation beyond the bulkheads into the historic piers?. Is there a bigger story for the waterfront, compared to a pier by pier redevelopment approach? How do we merge a world FISHERMAN’S WHARF 31 class destination with the public-private investment and development? The possibilities are breathtaking. 29 NORTH BEACH Our concept is a cohesive vision of the piers as a continuous MARINA pedestrian waterfront promenade—a pier promenade! Interlaced with public uses: food, entertainment, culture, history, and the arts. We envision these uses at key piers CRUISE TERMINAL along the waterfront, correlating with existing uses to establish thematic modes within the waterfront district. Pier 48 for food; Piers 26 + 28 under the bay bridge as hospitality 23 and park; the Ferris wheel for Piers 30 + 32 next to the bridge; a museum at the Agriculture building; and the TELEGRAPH HILL 19 exemplar Piers 19 + 23 nextt to the ExploratoriumExploratoriu as a cultural venue.
