Not just one, but two! Proposals and potential locations will be presented at both. There will be a public comment period as well.
* The first is this evening at 6:30 at the North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Avenue.
* The follow up will be March 15, at 6:30 p.m. at the Albany Public Library, 1247 Marin Avenue.
The future Berkeley/Albany ferry site is still being debated. Though the Buchanan, Gilman, and University Ave. locations are all still on the table, the University Ave. spot seems to be the perennial frontrunner. Read more in the 01.26.07 East Bay Daily News.
No firm plans yet, but the City has set aside 63,000$ for an initial traffic study. Read more about it in the 1.17.07 East Bay Daily News.
It’s not just the storm drains, it’s also the roads. Read more about it in the 10.23.06 Daily Californian.
It could happen. Read the latest on the future of water transportation around the bay in the Oakland Tibune.
By 2010, the Water Transit Authority hopes to have ferries running between Berkeley and San Francisco. Read more about it in the Contra Costa Times.
But there is hope for some small improvements in the near future. Read more about it in the ChronicleWatch. It is amazing how dangerous that intersection is, and how long it has been problematic. It still holds the number 1 spot as the ChronicleWatch’s most complained about bay area location.
If things go smoothly, an east bay ferry could be up and running in two years. Here are some links to the latest info on ferry service from Berkeley to SF:
