McLaren Park Watertower Redesign
(Winter, 2003)
After hearing testimony from SFB and other concerned citizen groups, the Civic Design Review Committee of the San Francisco Arts Commission reversed the La Grande Water Tower project's status from "Contract Document Review" to "Design Development Review" - a more conceptual design phase. The committee requested that the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) return with two additional design schemes. While this decision does not remove the already proposed scheme from consideration, it does open up the possibility that a more aesthetic design might take its place.
The current La Grande water tower, located in McLaren Park, is one of San Francisco's most conspicuous landmarks, visible from south facing views through-out the city. The need to replace this tower provides the PUC with an exciting opportunity to create a beautiful visual landmark.
