Bay
Crossings Docks at Ferry Building
|
Why would Bay Crossings
open a store in the Ferry building? Because until the WTA is up and
running – and that could be years off – there exists no ferry
ticket or information service for anyone but the Golden Gate Ferry
riders who have their own terminal. Left out in the cold are riders
from and to Vallejo, Alameda, Oakland and Tiburon, as well as
thousands of tourists wanting to get on the Bay. Go to Article |

Point
Molate: Waterfront Dream or Terrorist Nightmare? |
|
Surrounding this piece of paradise,
however, is the Chevron Texaco Refinery. The company’s executives
envision nightmarish scenarios if the public gains access to Point Molate.
They are pressuring the City to fence it off as a security area or to
allow industrial uses only. Go to Article |

| Saving the "Silver Slug" |
|
What is it about ancient
ferryboats that inspire people to save them, or try at least? Now
comes the drama of the Kalakala (kah-LOCK-a-lah), the world’s
first and arguably only, fully streamlined ferry. Will Seattle and
San Francisco get into a tug-of-war? Go to Article |

Important
Notice to our Readers
The long fight to
bring comprehensive regional ferry service to the Bay Area is at a
critical point. We need your help.
SB 916, the bill
that would allow Bay Area voters to decide whether to raise bridge
tolls to $3, has been passed by the Legislature. As we go to press,
the bill sits on Governor Gray Davis’ desk awaiting signature.
The spending plan
in SB 916 provides for ferries and it is crucial that you
contact Governor Davis and tell him you want the bill signed. Here’s
how to do it:
Email
governor@governor.ca.gov or call 916-445-2841
Do it today!
Thank
you.
