Washington, D.C. — U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) secured $230,000 for improvements at the Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal. This investment will improve pedestrian safety and circulation, ferry loading and offloading efficiency and schedule reliability at the ferry terminal. Pedestrians are currently crossing Front Street and Spring Street near the ferry terminal in an uncontrolled manner that creates conflicts with vehicle loading and offloading operations.
“Washington state residents depend on the largest ferry system in the country to keep our economy moving,” said Rep. Larsen. “This investment will make the Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal safer and more efficient for both the folks who rely on the ferry to commute between home and work and for visitors who use the ferry system to tour our beautiful region.”
