Purpose: So that Mayor Douglas can provide notice of the following motion to be considered at the October 16, 2024 Council meeting:
“Whereas the proposed Crofton Ferry Terminal redevelopment plan adopted by BC Ferries proposes to replace the existing terminal and related facilities in situ;
And whereas the chosen plan fails to include the removal of vehicle storage from Chaplain Street;
And whereas the existing and proposed terminal does not align with the interests and needs of our community;
Therefore, be it resolved that Council does not support the continued use of Adelaide Street for vehicle storage as part of the Crofton Ferry Terminal operations;
And further that Council will only support a plan that responds to community concerns related to reducing the impacts of any terminal operation on community roads and access to community services such as the boat launch and skateboard park;
And further that Council authorize the Mayor to formally communicate this position to BC Ferries and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI).”
