“Tens of thousands of people rely on this piece of San Francisco daily but might not even realize it is there. The Embarcadero Seawall stretching south along the Bay for more than three miles from Fisherman’s Wharf supports popular spots including the Ferry Building and Oracle Park, along with vital assets like the Transbay Tube, Muni rail lines and power and water systems. But this often unnoticed behemoth is aging, and recent studies have found it’s not fit to deal with the next big earthquake that hits the region or with the sea level rise that’s already threatening more intense flooding along the waterfront...The city is taking action to remedy this aging protector of San Francisco, rallying support from local voters, the state and federal funding sources for a massive repair project estimated to cost $5 billion. The task now is figuring out how to best address the current and future risks.” SF Business Times
