Summary

In 2015, the City Council established a public review process to review the proposed plans from Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District, who submitted plans to demolish the existing passenger boarding systems at the Sausalito ferry landing, which is east of the intersection of Bridgeway and Anchor Street, and replace them with new passenger boarding systems. The process culminated in the City Council denying consent to the project. Supervisor Kate Sears subsequently established a stakeholder's group to review the plans. Learn more about the 2015 process and proposed plans, and view meeting videos and correspondence.

On January 26, 2016, the City Council established a review process for review of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District's revised plans. The process was as follows: the Planning Commission and Historic Landmarks Board would review the plans at public meetings and make a recommendation to the City Council and the City Council would review the plans at a public meeting and make a decision on whether or not to grant consent.
