New Debate on America's Cup Waterfront Plans

Nov 7, 2011

Last week, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission began the process of modifying an existing plan to protect open water basins along San Francisco's waterfront, in order to allow docking of boats during upcoming America's Cup races. Baykeeper and other environmental allies, along with members of the Commission, warned that such concessions should be allowed only during the races and should not concede long-term development rights.

Read recent media coverage of the discussion in the San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Chronicle.
