S.F. Civil Grand Jury Targets Port
A Civil Grand Jury report released this week criticizes the Port of San Francisco for its management of the scenic waterfront. It names several high-profile projects that have made waves, including America's Cup and the Washington Street development proposal. It also says the mayor's office has too much influence and that insufficient opportunity for public review contributed to recent Port development failures.
