A troubled cleanup effort around Bayview’s former Navy shipyard has stalled out construction around the former stadium
San Francisco supervisors will vote Tuesday on a proposal aiming to revive one redevelopment plan in Bayview-Hunters Point — even as it sidelines another.
A troubled effort to clear the shipyard site of toxic pollutants that seeped into the soil and groundwater as a result of Cold War-era Navy activities has caused many delays —but the Candlestick site faces no such problems. “Our residents and community have not seen this type of economic development and infrastructure in over 100 years,” said resident Kimberly Hill-Brown, who warned that any further delay would mark a major setback for the neighborhood. “I’m 53, and my peers are afraid that they won’t live to see this project into its completion.”
SF arts advocates say they fear ramifications of Prop. D Proposition proponents say Arts Commission is not some “big, bad boogeyman that needs to be cut” Other proposed changes, Hussain said, are intended to economically boost the remaining development site. For example, the proposal to transfer commercial space will be used to construct a 22-acre “R&D Innovation District” atop the footprint of Candlestick Park, the stadium that once stood at that site and served as home to the San Francisco Giants and 49ers for dozens of years.
“I will say that the project is severely delayed,” he said. Those delays, he said, cannot solely be blamed on unforeseeable misfortune.
