Aldebol asks about vision study metrics and economic impact
Wong says the study will examine ridership, demographics, transit access, commercial corridors, site suitability, and economic impact.
And what are the key metrics that you're looking at and how are you tracking them?
As part of the vision, we're going to be looking, as we have, at things like ridership and the people who are living in neighborhoods, demographics.
existing access to transit, commercial corridors, things like that, to understand what the land uses are at nearby ferry requests.
We also want to make sure that we're looking, are there viable sites for ferry landings in neighborhoods that have adequate depth, that have the right kind of water conditions and upland conditions that are really going to be supportive of neighborhoods.
So we'll look at a lot of different things like that.
Are you also considering the potential impact that ferry service could have on the local economy?
Yes, we take a look at the land uses nearby and like I was saying, are there commercial corridors and things like that that we can identify as hotspots where if you have ferry service, could this be supportive?
