I hope it goes ahead. I love this idea but have some concerns. Who covers the insurance for passenger safety, on the dock and on the ferry ? Is this something that West Vancouver District and ultimately the taxpayer can afford in the event of a disaster?Are the existing facilities at the dock satisfactory for loading and unloading passengers? If successful can we expect an increase in service? I would suggest consideration of a route to Granville Island/False Creek/ Yaletown. Who knows where we can expand the service to, perhaps UBC? Times and circumstances change.Lets get it going.
