FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Parking Restrictions at Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal August 1
No ferry parking in residential neighborhoods
For residents adjacent to the Harbor Bay ferry terminal, the City will be addressing spillover parking in their neighborhoods starting Tuesday, August 1, 2017, when new parking restrictions take effect (Figure 1).
For Harbor Bay ferry riders, parking in the adjacent residential neighborhoods will no longer be an option, as those streets will be limited to four-hour parking without a permit. The 250-space parking lot with bike parking is one of four ways to get to the ferry. Four Fast Ways to the Ferry highlights that in addition to the parking lot, you can take a free bus – AC Transit Line 21 – to the ferry or you can bike, walk, or share a ride using one of the private carpooling services.
The City Council and the homeowner associations in the area – Headlands, Columbia and Harbor Bay Isle – approved a residential permit parking program for the Headlands and Columbia areas on February 21, 2017, allowing parking for up-to four hours unless the vehicle has a valid permit. This new parking restriction will begin Tuesday, August 1, 2017. Enforcement of two-hour parking along Adelphian Way also will begin Tuesday, August 1.
Parking tickets will be issued by the Alameda Police Department to motorists who do not obey these parking restrictions. Parking for ferry riders continues to be allowed at the ferry terminal, which also has bicycle parking available. These new parking restrictions will help minimize disruption to adjacent residential neighborhoods, and will encourage people to bicycle, walk, take transit, or carpool to the ferry.
