The Washington State Department of Transportation Ferry Division is seeking approved Transportation 2040 project status from PSRC for two ferry terminal projects slated to begin construction in 2017.
Improvements to two ferry terminals on deck for 2017.
The Colman Dock project will replace the aging and seismically vulnerable components of the Seattle Ferry Terminal to maintain safe and reliable ferry service in the future. Key elements include replacement of the timber trestle portion of the dock, the main terminal building, staff building, entry building, the foot ferry facility, the vehicle transfer span, the overhead loading structures, and landing aids of Slip 3 as well as adding a new bicycle facility and maintaining a connection to the Marion Street pedestrian overpass. The total project cost is $347 million.
The Mukilteo Terminal project consists of the replacement of the existing Mukilteo Ferry Terminal with a new facility, relocated one-third of a mile east, constructed within a former tank farm site. Key features include a one vessel slip, a two-story terminal building with overhead pedestrian loading, bicycle and HOV holding lanes, expansion of the vehicle holding lanes and a bus transit center. The total project cost is $134.7 million.
Both projects are consistent with Transportation 2040, financially feasible and meet federal, state, and local requirements.
The Transportation Policy Board will make a recommendation at its meeting on November 10, 2016. See the full agenda here.
