Bainbridge Ferry/ Gateway District Plan | Bainbridge, WA

Vibrant, Distinctive, Integrated Urban Design

description

The Ferry/Gateway District Plan for the City of Bainbridge Island, Washington focuses on a 10 acre site adjacent to a high capacity car ferry terminal, 40 minutes from downtown Seattle. VMWP is coordinating with the community, property owners and Washington State Ferries to create a plan that will balance pedestrian, bicycle, auto and bus circulation in and around the ferry terminal. The plan also looks at the opportunity for the development of a mixed-use neighborhood adjacent to the terminal that will help bring vitality and an added sense of place to central Bainbridge Island while seeking to create a series of new open spaces, housing, retail and office opportunities.

To encourage integration and cooperation between the city, the community, property owners, Kitsap transit and Washington State Ferries.
