1 Redwood City Ferry Terminal Why Ferry Service Terminal Needs Locational Analysis Land availability for 5-6 acre terminal Vehicular access Environmental Assessment Biological resources & sensitivity Wake and wave analysis Dredging requirements Conceptual Design & Cost Estimate

2 Why Ferry Service? Water Transit Authority forecasting indicates there is a potential market Redwood City is the southernmost accessible location in the Bay Ferry facilities and service provide a significant contingency mode It is a wonderful way to travel that attracts additional riders to transit

3 Terminal Needs 2025 forecast anticipates 1,950 daily riders between Redwood City and San Francisco; 460 daily riders between Oakland and Redwood City Hourly service to/from San Francisco; peak period only to/from Oakland Floating dock, accessible gangway, shelter, ticket vending, parking, and bus circulation

4 Locational Issues Find a site acceptable to permitting agencies Minimize vehicular conflicts with existing Port traffic Provide sufficient parking to meet demand Minimize vessel travel time in channel Allow rail access for potential future connection

5 Figure 1. Sites Considered

6 Figure 2. Site Selected for Ferry Terminal

7 Westpoint Slough Location Availability of land for landside facilities (short-term and long-term) Vehicular access available Compatible with BCDC Seaport Plan and Port needs Proximity to Pacific Shores development for “walk-in” ridership Shortest vessel travel time

8 Figure 3. Access Route to Westpoint Slough Terminal

9 Environmental Assessment/Fatal Flaw Analysis Redwood Creek channel is dredged for much larger vessels Bair & Greco Islands part of National Wildlife Refuge Special status plant and wildlife species in or near project area Landside and waterside environment already disturbed sites Preliminary estimate of 17,000 cubic yards of dredging required
