Concerns Raised Over Ferry Traffic and Safety on Denman Island

infrastructure · August 2023 · Denman Island ferry terminals and roads

Residents expressed concerns about increased traffic and safety issues at Denman ferry terminals due to tourism and ferry service changes. A letter to BC Ferries urged replacement of the Baynes Sound Connector and consideration of a direct ferry to Hornby Island. Suggestions included limiting tourist RV length, reserving lanes for essential travelers, and holding public meetings to address traffic and safety problems.
