The Regional Transit Authority is hosting its final community meeting Wednesday to get feedback on its $9.6 million plan to renovate the Algiers Ferry terminal next year.
Why it matters: The Algiers Ferry terminal has been closed for several years, leaving riders to wait in the heat and rain before boarding.
The latest: The RTA gathered community feedback through the spring and summer, with plans to begin construction in March 2025.
- The final meeting is virtual and will begin at 5:30pm Wednesday. Login details are here.
Zoom in: The completion of Canal Street's ferry terminal last year showed just how nice its West Bank sister can be.
- Designs for the Algiers Point terminal will improve the boarding ramp and create air-conditioned community spaces, including a concession area and bathroom.
- Sheltering the boarding ramp has also been a top community request, the project's architects told Verite.
What's next: The construction is expected to take a year, a spokesman said, and riders can expect at least one closure during that time.
- The ferry landing is also being rebuilt, the spokesman said, and the RTA hopes to align closures for that project with the terminal construction.
