South Beach Coastal Resilience Project on June 2; Downtown Coastal Resilience Project on June 16
The Port of San Francisco will host public open houses for two Waterfront Resilience Program projects: the South Beach Coastal Resilience Project and the Downtown Coastal Resilience Project. These events continue the Port’s ongoing Waterfront Resilience Program public engagement efforts, launched in 2017, to ensure the waterfront and its critical assets remain resilient, safe, and accessible.
At both open houses, attendees can learn about projects, meet the project team, and share feedback.
