Anyone think it would be a idea to start upgrading foot passenger service at the terminals such as Westview and Little River terminals, Langdale. I mean those terminals that you have to walk on the ferries via the vehecle deck such as Langdale it's a major terminal so why dont they start treating it like one.

It's a good Idea for Langdale, but Westview and Little River could wait untill they see an increase in traffic.

Yeah I think Langdale need a foot passenger ramp for sure, but I've never been to Westview or Little River so I don't know what it's like there for traffic. Hey whats with the temporary closure of berth one and two at Tsawwassen? They're ripping out that old passenger walkway and putting in a new one. I liked that old one, reminded me of walking down a passenger train.

Yes, Tsawwassen has 5 berths. Berths one and two are single ramped berths which I think were the first two original berths to the far left of the terminal. Berths 3 4 5 are used the most. Duke Point ferries mostly use berth 3 although I have seen them in berth 5 the odd time and Swartz Bay ferries mostly use berth 5. Duke Point ferries sometimes use berth 4 which can be used as a layover berth. The Nanny also uses berth 3 and sometime either 1 or 2.
You know what's funny, WSF calls their docks, Slips. Slip 1 Slip 2 ect.. I wonder why???

Berth 1 at tswwassen should have a foot passenger ramp, the nanny is usually in berth 2 and bowen queen in berth 1.
