The first phase will include a harbor to accommodate tall ships and other vessels, plazas and a housing facility for the historic fireboat, the Ralph J. Scott. The housing of the fireboat, has drawn some criticism, primarily for the Los Angeles Fire Department, who says the ongoing maintenance would be rather expensive.
Phase 2, which will be designed to provide more pedestrian connections to downtown and the waterfront and to include a realignment of Samson Way, expansion of the Red Car line. The much anticipated part of phase 2 will be the Seventh Street pier water cut adjacent to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum.
The entire development is expected to 10 years and an estimated total cost of $1.2 billion.
