BERKELEY CITY COUNCIL ENDORSES FERRY TERMINAL
On November 17, 2009, the Berkeley City Council voted 7-2 to support a new ferry terminal to be located at Seawall Drive in the Berkeley Marina. WETA will next complete environmental reports and begin to finalize design plans for the new ferry terminal.
The Berkeley City Council endorsement is another important step forward for the project as WETA continues its public mandate to operate and expand environmentally responsible water transit that contributes to regional mobility and enhances the emergency response capacity of the Bay Area.
