King County Interim Report On Ferry Expansion Options For Marine Division KPFF 07/01/2015

Summary:

Study on expansion routes for Water Taxi. They are focused on a ferry as a true commuter option. Des Moines ranks at bottom on all axes. Commuter demand low. Revenue poor. Costs high. Multi-modal challenging. Parking inadequate. They question the need given the Light Rail and the fact that there is already a Metro Shuttle Bus (635) to get people from the Marina/Wesley to Angle Lake Station. The case for a ferry becomes even poorer when the KDM Station opens.
