San Francisco, CA — Mayor London N. Breed and the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) today dedicated the International Terminal Departures Hall for the late San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee. Lee passed away suddenly on December 12, 2017 while in office. Mayor Breed joined the Lee family to dedicate the facility in his honor.
"Today we honor the late Mayor Ed Lee and his contributions to the City of San Francisco and the San Francisco International Airport," said Mayor Breed. "Mayor Lee gave so much to this city, and we will be forever grateful for his service. With this dedication of the International Terminal Departures Hall residents and visitors alike will be reminded of Mayor Lee and his commitment to serve the city that he loved."
The naming of the Mayor Edwin M. Lee International Terminal Departures Hall was adopted by an Airport Commission resolution in June 2019 to honor the late Mayor Lee for his extraordinary contributions to San Francisco and the Airport. Today, SFO unveiled several elements in the International Terminal Departures Hall to commemorate Mayor Lee. SFO has installed signage on the wood-paneled wall of the Departures Lobby that reads, "Mayor Edwin M. Lee International Terminal Departures Hall." Additionally, the Airport will install a bas-relief plaque depicting Mayor Lee by the end of next year, and will provide a video link for passengers to connect to a video on his life. In the meantime, there is a temporary photo of Mayor Lee placed underneath the wood-paneled sign.
