The Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division (WSF) invites the public to a series of meetings in ferry-served communities November 4-19. In these meetings WSF will provide information, answer questions and hear public comments on a variety of issues related to the ferry system, including the legislated vehicle reservations pre-design study, winter vessel maintenance schedule, new 64-car ferries, crewing schedules and preparing for the 2010 legislative session.
“I look forward to this series of community conversations,” said David Moseley, Assistant Secretary for WSF. “We will discuss work being done now as well as work moving forward into the 2010 legislative session.”
The community meeting schedule for the San Juan Islands will take place Thursday, Nov. 5 from 2:15 to 4:15 p.m., aboard San Juan inter-island ferry (departing Friday Harbor at 2:15 p.m., Orcas at 3:05 p.m., Shaw at 3:20 p.m., Lopez at 3:45 p.m.)
