The Port of Redwood City <br />Located along Seaport Boulevard, the Port of Redwood City has more than one mile of <br />waterfront public access, walkways, and viewing areas. The Port is the only deepwater <br />port in the south San Francisco Bay and provides construction materials and industrial <br />scale recycling for businesses and public agencies from South San Francisco to Silicon <br />Valley. The economic impact of the Port is vast. Without the Port, water freight would <br />need to be shipped to different ports and result in longer truck travel times, increased <br />vehicle miles traveled, and greater vehicle emissions. Because the 101/84 interchange <br />is the only access point to the Port, coordination and communication will be vital <br />during the construction phase. <br /> <br />Contact: Kristine Zortman, Port of Redwood City Executive Director, <br />kzortman@redwoodcityport.com, (650)306-4150 <br /> <br />4.3.4. Ferry Terminal <br />There is a proposal to develop a regional Ferry Terminal on the east end of the Port of <br />Redwood City’s property, at the end of Seaport Boulevard, which can only be accessed <br />by motor vehicle using 101/84 Interchange. <br /> <br />The terminal is part of a proposed San Francisco Bay Ferry system being developed by <br />the Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transit Authority (WETA.) The service would provide a <br />new transportation alternative to connect the mid-peninsula to San Francisco and the <br />East Bay. Ferry service would also enhance emergency preparedness, delivering first <br />responders and critical supplies by water after a catastrophic event with closures on <br />bridges, rail, or freeway infrastructure. Landside improvements would include a parking <br />lot, bus and shuttle drop-off lane/turnaround, bike storage, restrooms, and public <br />access amenities such as walking trails, benches, picnic tables, etc., and opportunities <br />for pop-up vendor carts. <br /> <br />In 2019, a Redwood City Feasibility study provided extensive public engagement and <br />found the service feasible based on analysis of ridership demand, infrastructure needs, <br />financial capacity, public benefit, and consistency with existing plans (Feasibility Study <br />and other project information). The Study was accepted by the Board of Port
