The Fisherman’s Wharf Public Realm Plan is an inter-agency partnership, led by the Planning Department, which will help reinvigorate the streets and public spaces of Fisherman’s Wharf. A redesigned Jefferson Street will be the central element of the plan, but the plan will also contain:

• new streetscape designs for the remainder of the Wharf’s streets;
• design guidelines for new development;
• a revamped parking and circulation plan; and
• proposals for new and refurbished public open spaces.

Taken together, the Public Realm Plan will support a diverse and active public life and will build on the Wharf’s historic roots as the home of San Francisco’s last working fishing fleet. By maintaining Fisherman’s Wharf’s status as San Francisco’s premier attraction, the Public Realm Plan will both help solidify the Wharf’s future economic vitality, as well as strengthen its connection to the city.

The Wharf community has already developed a robust vision document detailing how it feels the area should be improved, and we will be basing our first round of proposals on this vision. Highlights include redesigning Jefferson from the perspective of a pedestrian; improving transit’s speed and reliability; moving people off of Jefferson and into parking structures and lots more quickly and efficiently; and, designing gateways to the area that strengthen the Wharf’s distinctive identity.

The first community workshop was held on July 11th at the Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf Hotel (a summary of this meeting will be posted soon). Please continue to check this website for future updates.
