I remember there being a doc that colour-coded Stages 1-3 (or 4?). Might have been for the design portion of the terminal.

There was a phasing plan for the terminal portion of the project in the competition booklet submitted by KPMB/West 8:

It was something more like this but I remember it detailed the new totem pole lights they'd put in with a breakdown of the continuing phases. Anyways, was more just curious to see what's next!

Hmnm, I know what to look for - but no luck. The last DRP presentation with the totem poles didn't have phasing either:

Is there still a plan to buy new ferries aND any idea when? At some point, new federal policies cut capacities of the existing ferries in half. I don't know if that was rescinded in the meantime either.

One is already under construction - or at least the contract was awarded.

I believe there's a tender out for new ferry options, but I can't recall where I saw that or what the timing is (super helpful, I know).

my understanding is that it is already underway.. I recall seeing an article recently.

I think that article is referring to a different ferry -- a smaller one, rather than a replacement for the big, massive, people-carriers like the Sam McBride and Thomas Rennie.

It is not a City ferry.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting. The private ⛴ service is interesting.

It's in the works, but they're doing some extra due diligence on the designs of the new vessels.

Who is paying for these new vessels??, and also puzzles me why there hasn't been a pedestrian link built by now from the mainland

 

[jcam]

They already have approval in the capital budget for 3 of 4 replacement vessels. The boats date 1930s to 1962. They were all purchased by TTC, when TTC ran the ferries. Politically, there will never be a physical link.

I’m glad there isn’t a link. Taking the ferry makes it way more fun.
