A new ferry terminal on Richmond's waterfront establishes a crucial ferry route to San Francisco. The site is located within the National Park Service’s Rosie-the-Riveter World War II/Home Front National Historical Park. Coordination among numerous public agencies and private owners was required to integrate the ferry terminal with the adjacent Bay Trail, Harbor Way South terminus, and neighboring historic structures. The building is designed to be an iconic element, visually distinctive, while simultaneously providing passengers panoramic Bay and City views, and protection from wind and rain.
