River in Focus Brown Bag: Ferry Feasibility Study

Darcy Cronin writes "River in Focus Brown Bag Lunch at City Hall

Grab your sack lunch and head to City Hall for lunch with the River Renaissance. We are hosting a presentation about the Willamette Ferry Feasibility Study that was published in June at the request of the River Renaissance Initiative. The study was conducted by Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates, and will be presented by Thomas Brennan. Here is a PDF link to the study: http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm ?id=122319 (PDF)

As the feasibility study determined, creating a seasonal central city circulator ferry may be possible through a private/public partnership. Developing a local ferry system along the Willamette River could be an excellent way to connect Portlanders and visitors with the river, and foster river-oriented business and neighborhood development. Come learn about and discuss this exciting opportunity for creating a recreational water-based transit alternative in the heart of Portland.
