San Francisco Will Start Dismantling the Vaillancourt Fountain on Monday

A coalition of fountain supporters, including nonprofit groups Docomomo US/Northern California and the Cultural Landscape Foundation, along with skateboarders and some art fans, have tried a number of ways to halt the fountain’s removal, first asking the Board of Supervisors in January to require the environmental review process before disassembly can move forward, and later filing a legal complaint with the San Francisco Superior Court asking for the same.
