Statement: “There really aren’t any design impacts that result from the cruise ship terminal being constructed,” said Shaun Sumner, the port of San Diego’s senior real estate asset manager, during an interview for a San Diego Explained segment about the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan.

Further, they claim, they were unable to make any other conclusion than that the massive terminal now arising on the pier had to be built.
