Farias revisits City Island congestion and parking concerns
Farias says Ferry Point has parking and residents already drive there; she doubts City Island would draw excessive cars; Wong says the study considers traffic impacts.
Councilman Farias.
Hi folks.
Followed by Wong.
Sorry about that, Councilmember.
It's okay.
Hi folks.
I had to pop in and out.
We have tons of hearings going on today for all of us.
Can you just revisit the response you folks had about the potentiality of a City Island
ferry landing and congestion that you the response you gave for council member altiball
um just to sort of talk about that a little bit more yeah i was just hearing just getting updates as i was coming in about
the potentiality of more more vehicles on that roadway yeah so um
i was responding to a question about you know do we consider the traffic impacts that might come up if we were looking at a ferry landing in a certain place.
And we do.
We think about, you know, we generally try to find places where people would walk or take existing modes other than driving to get to a ferry landing.
And in many ways, City Island, given its constrained geography, does look like, you know, this is a great opportunity for a community if you are able to find a place and operate a ferry.
But one thing I did flag is that because it is...
If you were to get a ferry there, it would be very attractive, and it could draw more people into City Island by car.
