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
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
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
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
Figure 1. Sites Considered
Figure 2. Site Selected for Ferry Terminal
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

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

Conceptual Design & Cost Estimate WTA standard floating dock with ADA accessible
gangway Passenger shelter 500 space parking lot/drop-off and pick-up Access via 4-lane portion of Seaport Blvd. Phased development of parking $13 – 13.5 million facility cost
