Day 04: Colman Dock Ferry Terminal

As the projects are advancing in their design, particular attention is being given to the connection between the new bridge structure and the proposed new Ferry Terminal at Colman Dock. As the drawing below shows, the Seattle Waterfront Plan includes a number of systems of circulation, from cars and pedestrians to a dedicated bike track that will run continuously along the waterfront. Although bikes will not be coming off the upper deck of the ferries, the inclusion of bike stations and the potential for bike parking for people riding to the terminal and going without bikes on the ferry creates the potential for bike access to the bridge structure. A number of the projects have thus begun to look at this intersection as crucial node within the functioning of the bridge, ferry terminal and waterfront.
