FOGG Open Letter – March 23, 2008

Two important meetings are coming up in April that we wish to make you aware of.  They both concern the Port’s disposition of Seawall Lot 351 for possible development.

This is the present 2/3 acre parking lot on the corner of the Embarcadero and Washington Street.  It is also the parcel that San Francisco Waterfront Partners (developer Mr. Simon Snellgrove) wishes to remove from under Public Trust control, so he can build 170 luxury condominiums and a 500+ space underground parking garage.  This development would be on Seawall Lot 351 and on a large portion of the present open recreational space – the GGT&SC.
