Why is the project needed?
• Key components of Colman Dock
are aging and seismically deficient
• The layout of today’s facility
creates safety concerns and
operational inefficiencies due to
conflicts between vehicles,
bicycles and pedestrians
• To ensure Colman Dock can
continue to serve as a regional
multimodal transportation hub
providing safe and reliable ferry
service
Timber pile that
was removed and
replaced due to
deterioration
Project reduces conflicts between
vehicles and pedestrians

Multimodal facilityOver 9 million passengers
used the facility in 2016,
including over 4.9 million
foot passengers
About 5% of weekday
westbound riders are on
bikes; and we anticipate this
number to continue to growClose to 3.2 million foot passengers traveled on the Bainbridge Island route;
45% of entire WSF system
We anticipate Bainbridge Island walk-on
ridership to grow 31%, the highest
growth of system
Urban transportation facility

Colman Dock is a key
transportation facility
providing seamless
connections to current
and planned transit,
bicycle paths and
pedestrian amenities

Project development• Project history spans decades!
• 2009: WSF finalizes the Long Range Plan (LRP) following legislative direction,
defines preservation project at Colman Dock
• 2012: WSF presents initial project concept
• 2015: WSF/FTA/FHWA complete environmental review and 30% design
• 2016
– Spring: 60% design
– Fall: 90% design
• 2017
– February: 100% design
– Permitting complete
• Summer 2017 – early 2023
– Construction – operations maintained throughout

Accommodating pedestrians
overhead loading
10
Pedestrian overhead loading used
by 3.2 million foot passengers on the Bainbridge Island route is
narrow, does not meet ADA
standards and is vulnerable in
a seismic event
New overhead loading facility
11
New overhead loading will be 12 feet wide; providing a uniform corridor
to better meet operational demands and ADA standards
Efficient loading/unloading Fewer delays Increased reliability for customers
Improving bicycle access
12
Dedicated bicycle
entry and holding
area separates cyclists
and vehicles and
improves safety
Dedicated bicycle entry
13
Bicycle entry with direct connections to planned waterfront cycle track
14
Covered bicycle holding area
Dedicated bicycle ticket booth and covered holding area for bicyclists
(looking west)
Extensive community outreach
15
Extensive outreach and
direct feedback from the
public, including targeted
conversations with bicycle
riders and people with
disabilities
