Crews on Monday started the process of removing nearly 100 trees from San Francisco’s waterfront as part of the Embarcadero Plaza and Sue Bierman Park renovation project.
The tree removal work is expected to take up to five weeks, according to San Francisco Recreation and Parks. Park visitors should expect intermittent sidewalk closures, construction noise, and detours, but impacts on parking and traffic should be minimal.
A total of 97 of the park’s 113 trees will come down. Three will be transplanted to new locations within the park. The others will be replaced with a mix of species, including coast live oak, coast redwood, Monterey cypress and more, according to the recreation and parks department.
