Council reviews north‑end ferry park‑and‑ride signage and new bollards after safety complaints
Summary
Laura reported photos and a near‑miss related to drop‑off and pick‑up at the north ferry loading area; King County added flexible posts and a ferry worker now helps direct traffic, and the council will post the draft safety plan for comment.
Laura presented photos and described safety problems at the north‑end ferry park‑and‑ride and loading area, saying some signs were "almost completely obliterated" and that cars waiting for drop‑off blocked approach lanes, causing at least one missed ferry and potential near‑misses around a curve. She reported King County had added flexible yellow posts and that dock workers now direct traffic at peak times.
Jen noted a draft safety action plan from King County and said the county had solicited input; members discussed further improvements (clearer signage, parking‑lot drop‑off systems) and Jen said she would post the county draft for public comment and invite further input from island residents.
