Swimmers, rowers and city leaders concerned about the Aquatic Park Pier rallied in San Francisco Saturday.
That combined with years of pounding waves adding to the continued deterioration makes it unsafe for the public.
“There is lots of deferred maintenance. So, it keeps getting worse and worse,” said one community member said.The National Park Service estimates rebuilding the pier would cost upwards of $100 million. Those who attended the rally Saturday pointed out not only is the pier historic, it plays an essential role.
“It creates this calm cove that not only is a place thousands of swimmers come and swim, it protects the historic ships that U.S. Government has invested in,” said San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin."The National Park Service remains committed to prioritizing and planning for the replacement of Municipal Pier and will continue to work with community and government stakeholders towards achieving a viable solution should funding become available.
