Overview

• The Port released official renderings for a 5,000-square-foot plaza on Taylor Street with Bay-facing seating, picnic tables, string lighting, interpretive signage, landscaping with wind screens, pop-up space, and a playful seating sculpture.
• Alioto’s is scheduled to be torn down in November or December, with plaza construction starting soon after and the public space targeted to open by summer 2026.
• Officials are seeking a tenant for the ground floor of Fisherman’s Grotto No. 9 overlooking the plaza and lagoon, with pop-up food vendors planned if no lease is signed.
• Near-term measures to support the fishing fleet include a new inner lagoon overlook along Al Scoma Way, new lighting to illuminate boats, and installation of ice machines requested by fishermen.
• The Fisherman’s Wharf Forward program pairs these quick upgrades with longer-term resilience work to strengthen or replace seawalls and wharves, flood‑proof buildings, and modernize facilities.
