Washington State Ferries (WSF) will be holding an online open house and two virtual meetings about the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal replacement project.
Here's a link to the online open house that includes information about alternatives WSF is considering. The online open house goes through June 13, and you can submit comments and questions.
The two online community meetings will be on Tuesday, May 24, from noon to 1:30 p.m. and Wednesday, May 25, from 6-8 p.m. Both meetings will cover the same material. You can click the links to register for these Zoom meetings.
The week after each meeting, a video recording will be available online on the project webpage.
Several options were considered in what is called “Level 1” screening, the first level of consideration. Some alternatives were eliminated from consideration, including potential terminal locations at Lowman Beach, Colman Dock, Burien or Des Moines.
The alternatives moving into “Level 2” screening are all located at the current terminal location. At the recommendation of the Community Advisory Group, Level 2 alternatives were expanded to not only include maintaining the same dock size, but also options to maintain the dock size and include advance ticketing and using the Good to Go! Program - like it’s currently used for toll collection on the SR99 tunnel – but for ferry tickets.
Some options expand the size of the terminal or would affect traffic circulation on Fauntleroy Way SW.
Here’s a chart that shows the results of the Level 1 screening analysis. Here is the full Level 1 analysis, which has the easiest to read layout for the alternatives.
The section of the open house on the alternatives shows what will be analyzed moving forward in “Level 2” screening.
