SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco's Board of Supervisors will decide on Tuesday whether to allow a Ferris wheel at Golden Gate Park's Music Concourse to stay for another year instead of the four-year extension proposed by the city's Historic Preservation Commission.
The Board of Supervisors will consider the resolution after the supervisors' Rules Committee voted unanimously on Monday to bring it to the full board for a vote.
Earlier this month, the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission approved extending the stay of the 150-foot-tall SkyStar Observation Wheel through 2025, in order to reinvigorate the city's post-pandemic economy and help offset SkyStar's financial loss.
