One of the items about which Dan Hodapp from the Port of San Francisco graciously provided some insights to the community at the Rincon Point-South Beach CAC meeting on Monday was the construction work that’s been happening at Pier 24 for the last few weeks (months maybe?).

| April 22, 2009 | Posted by jamie under Buildings |
First we had the half-baked article in Sunday’s Chronicle that left almost everyone (including myself) with the notion that the company that developed One Rincon Hill had not paid a single penny to the City in fees.

I went to the San Francisco Metropolitan Transportation Agency’s meeting about their plan to close a $129 million budget deficit yesterday, and they plan on drowning the waterfront neighborhoods in the bath tub with service reductions that affect residents and businesses in Rincon Hill, South Beach, and Mission Bay.
