Warriors of the Waterfront

John King writes about the waterfront, development, and Prop B in SFGate,

Much of the northeast waterfront has been transformed in the past 20 years, buoyed in large part by the city's excessive wealth. Industrial remnants such as Pier 70, though, will require huge private investment - not to "preserve a unique and vibrant vital waterfront," as Prop. B touts itself to voters, but so a dilapidated shipyard can be reclaimed in a way that's accessible and inviting to the public at large.

Bayview Underground Community Pop-up Market Comes to Pier 70

From Pier 70,

Since becoming involved in crafting the future Pier 70 in partnership with the community, the Forest City Pier 70 team has been excited about the opportunity to start enlivening the area and actively working with the Port to make that possible.  You may have been among the 5,000 people who joined us for the August 2013 Urban Air Market in historic Building 12, the first public event in that space in the building’s 70+ year history.  And maybe you brought your family to the Ghost Ship Halloween Family Day event in October that featured a haybale maze, pumpkin painting, large scale public art installations and a San Francisco Fire Department truck.  With the success of those community events, we’re incredibly pleased to announce that the first of what will be an ongoing calendar of community and publicly accessible events at and around Building 12 will be starting this week.

Forest City and it’s event management partner, the Pier 70 Partners, invite you to join us at the Bayview Underground Community Pop-up Market in historic Building 12 at Pier 70. The market will take place every Thursday from 5:30-8:00pm starting April 10th through June 26th.  The Bayview Underground Community Pop-up Market, which has been operating for the past year, moves every quarter to a different SF neighborhood venue to reach a broader audience and increase exposure for local businesses.

Vendors include: Bandit Drinks and Treats, Beautiful You, Nia Soul, Comfort Foods National, Yvonne's Southern Sweet Treats, Aquarius Enterprise, SF Honey Co., Sugar and Honey, Fox and Lion Bread, Moyoni, CDXX, Linda's, Jake's Castro Kitchen, Rasoi, Prickly Pigs, Gratta Wines, Sutton Cellars, Auntie April’s Soul Food, and more!

Date: THURSDAYS starting April 10th – June 26th
Time: 5:30 – 8:00pm
Location: Building 12, Pier 70, 420 22nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94107 (map)

Pier 70 Phase 0 Workshop

Forest City and the Institute of the Commons are teaming up to offer an innovative and exciting opportunity to “dreamstorm” possibilities for bringing a piece of Pier 70 alive by next spring!  

We'll provide minimal parameters, allowing you and other community innovators and residents the freedom to explore and share your creative ideas with one another.

Our focus will be on bringing to life the 1-acre parcel at 20th and Illinois Street for the short-term (over the next 3 years), while planting seeds for potential activities for when Pier 70 is fully developed.  This event is designed to give you the opportunity to meet each other, form partnerships/friendships, and experience what community can become.  It is a chance to co-create a shared space we can all enjoy in the near future.

This interactive workshop will take place Wednesday, October 30th, from 6:00-9:00pm (event doors open at 5:30pm) at Dogpatch Café on 3rd Street.  Please plan to arrive on time and stay to completion as the design of the evening builds continually from start to finish for maximum creativity and collaboration.
