Dear Editor
To follow up with the family buying a house in Queensborough with the promise of a bridge to the Quayside, so was the Port Royal developer advertising a ferry to Quayside.
Aragon built a very nice dock and offered to sponsor the boats as well as local business interests for private entrepreneurs. See Quayside board website for minutes of June 26, 2013. Mayor Wright gave support back in 2011.The boats were not noisy, radio-equipped, appropriate size for the river, not affected by the weather, wheelchair- and bike-friendly. They also had $100,000 from Port Metro Vancouver. All that was necessary was a dock at Quayside. The boats would go to the east end of the Quayside for the benefit of the market and SkyTrain. This would be a nice awakening of the river and a boost for visitors to Pier Park as well as the possibly of Queensbourgh Landing and Sapperton.
Why not let private enterprise try a ferry service while we wait for a new bridge proposal?
