Lurie, Port of SF Unveil Plan to Revitalize Fisherman’s Wharf

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and the Port of San Francisco have unveiled a sweeping plan to revitalize Fisherman’s Wharf, with a view toward accelerating the projected growth in the city’s tourism and driving San Francisco’s comeback. Implementing the plan begins with construction of a public plaza on the site formerly occupied by Alioto’s Restaurant.

“Fisherman’s Wharf has long been one of San Francisco’s most iconic destinations, known for its rich history, stunning views and beloved attractions,” said District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter. “But today, too many storefronts sit empty, missing the energy that defines our city. The Fisherman’s Wharf Forward plan lays out a bold vision to breathe new life into this neighborhood.”

Next steps for the new plaza include finalizing the design, securing necessary regulatory permits and contracting with demolition and construction teams. The Port will continue public outreach in 2025 and beyond.
