The Port of San Francisco has detailed far-reaching plans to renovate the historic Fisherman’s Wharf, a key tourist destination in the city that has yet to recover from COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns.

As part of the Fisherman’s Wharf Forward initiative, the Port Commission on June 10 also unanimously approved a contract for Silverado Contractors to demolish buildings deemed untenable, including one that long housed Alioto’s Restaurant, a 99-year-old Sicilian seafood restaurant, which will cost the city up to $3.5 million.
