The San Francisco Bay might sound like an odd place to install a pool, but a plan to do just that is getting a big boost from a state senator.
Wiener calls it a “win, win" private investment that would create a benefit for the public, economic growth and access.
The plan has its opponents, but everyone agrees something has to be done because the piers are in rough shape. “They’re gradually just falling apart and falling into the Bay. They need to be redeveloped. There have been various proposals over the years that haven’t panned out. We have a proposal now that is very, very strong,” Wiener said."This project can only happen with state legislation authorizing regional and local approval of it," Wiener said.
The bill now goes through the legislative process and could potentially reach the governor’s desk this fall. A plan for a floating pool in the San Francisco Bay is getting a big boost from state senator Scott Wiener. Raj Mathai talks to Wiener about the unique proposal.
