Berkeley Water Transportation Pier Ferry

Berkeley Water Transportation Pier Ferry

The Berkeley Pier was closed in July 2015 due to visually observed structural problems on the underside of the concrete decking and pilings. The proposed project aims to revitalize the Berkeley Waterfront by developing new dual-purpose pier and ancillary uses that support both public recreation and zero-emission public ferry service. The project would include the following components: demolition of portions of the closed pier, new public pier, new breakwater that provides pedestrian access and recreational amenities, recreational amenities, ferry infrastructure, dredging, new public plaza, improvements to University Avenue and Seawall Drive, a portion of the planned Bay Trail Extension, new landscaping, new wayfinding signage, utility connections, and operation of zero-emission electric passenger ferry service.
