Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a resolution to explore adding ferry service to the Ford Peninsula. Staff will now research the costs, potential routes, and timeline for connecting the area to other Bay Area locations by boat. This could eventually give residents and visitors a new transportation option beyond driving, though no money has been committed yet and the research is just getting started. The vote continues the council's consistent support for infrastructure projects.
