The National Park Service (NPS) is beginning a planning and environmental impact analysis process to establish a long-term ferry embarkation site for passenger service between the San Francisco waterfront and Alcatraz Island. The Alcatraz Ferry Embarkation Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will also evaluate a ferry connection from the San Francisco embarkation site to existing piers at Sausalito and/or Fort Baker. The NPS is developing the project in coordination with the Port of San Francisco (Port) and City and County of San Francisco (City). The planning process is following requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
To begin the plan, the NPS is engaging the public in scoping activities to hear comments about any issues or concerns, the range of alternatives that should be studied, the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts, and any appropriate mitigation strategies that should be addressed in the planning process.
Two open house format public meetings are scheduled:
Tuesday, June 26

4:30-7:30 P.M.
Thursday, June 28

Interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are invited to attend either meeting to discuss the project with the planning team and make suggestions about the project.
