A direct connection to the streetcar station would also be nice, from a pedestrian and dirver safety point of view. Somehting wheelchair accessible too given there is a requirement to make it so if there is new construction or substantial reno.
What would make my day is actually a two level terminal with Ward and Hanlon connecting to the upper deck of the ferries via a fixed bridge from the upper level of that terminal. Then the Centre Island traffic would remain on the lower level.
I hope they also have something in the design that allows for better offloading of passengers when they arrive back in the city. Anything that would reduce congestion in the building design would allow for quicker turnaround and more trips.
The Ward's and Hanlan's ferries are often smaller, single deck ferries due to their smaller crowds - Island residents often bring bike trailers and carts across as well - the smaller car ferry type vessels are better suited for those runs, while the iconic double-deck ferries are most appropriate on the Centre Island trips.
