		The Bay Area Council is once again pushing for a much larger ferry network, this time in the name of disaster preparedness.
		Ferries were rushed into service after each event, and although most were later discontinued, ridership on existing ferries increased and the new Oakland/Alameda-San Francisco route made such a splash after Loma Prieta that it was left in place.
		The Richmond ferry would likely dock at an old Ford plant that's being redeveloped into an arts center, the Hercules ferry at a new New Urbanist town center, and the Treasure Island ferry at that massive redevelopment (another, Mission Bay, is near the AT&T Park landing currently used on game days).

		Located to the northwest of Vancouver, Horseshoe Bay is best known for its BC Ferry terminal, serving Snug Cove on Bowen Island, Langdale on the Sunshine Coast, and Departure Bay in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
		Ferries glide in and out of Horseshoe Bay, and the wake from the larger boats creates surf as they hit the shoreline.
		The bedroom community of Horseshoe Bay is also the starting point of the intensely scenic Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99), which winds through the Coast Mountains, from coastal rain forest at Horseshoe Bay, through Squamish, alongside Garibaldi Provincial Park, through the Resort town of Whistler and on to Pemberton and Lillooet.

	Chesapeake Bay Bridge History
		When the Chesapeake Bay Bridge at Sandy Point was opened to traffic on July 30, 1952, it not only marked the physical connection of the Eastern and Western Shores of Maryland, but also marked the successful completion of a forty-five year struggle to accomplish this purpose.
		According to the early history of the State, a ferry plied the Bay between Kent Island and points at or near Annapolis, and recurring stories indicate that sketchy preliminary studies were made during the latter part of the 19th century to span the Bay by bridge.
		During the forty years prior to construction of the present bridge, while the river boats gave way to motor vehicles, it may be said that Bay ferries were used as temporary expedients until the hope of the years for a fixed bay crossing could be realized.

	BAY AREA / Ferry godmother / After a big quake, water travel may save the day -- and lives
		The Bay Area's small fleet of ferries carries less than one percent of the region's commuters, but it came to the rescue in the hours and weeks after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
		While the Bay Area has had 16 years to get ready for the next big earthquake, and scientists say there is a 2 in 3 chance of a major temblor in the next 30 years, the poll found that 48 percent of 600 residents surveyed in nine counties believe the region is not sufficiently prepared.
		The west span of the Bay Bridge has been bolstered to withstand a major earthquake, the new $6.3 billion east span is under construction and a $1 billion strengthening of BART's Transbay Tube is under way.
