The report was presented to Highways Minister Rita Johnston during the summer but has not been made public, said John Bruce, direc- tor of technicai services with San- dwell Inc. He said it is one of the most ex- citing things he has worked on. Eight companies responded to a call from Johnston for proposals on providing high-speed passenger ferry services from the Vancouver water- front to Port Moody, 25 kilometres east of Vancouver, the Sechelt Peninsula, 35 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, and Vancouver Island points such as Nanaimo. Johnston has yet to announce whether one or: more of the Suggested routes can be operated with the vessels on offer. The population of Greater Van- couver has passed 1.5 million and is conservatively expected to grow to 2.4 million by 2005, Bruce told a recent meeting of the Pacific North- west section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. “Expansion of Vancouver to the north and south is blocked - and congestion may set limits to growth in the lower Fraser Valley,”’ he said. “The only way to go may be wet, by water.” Reliable, 35-knot (65 kilometres an hour), passenger-only ferry service could bring the Gulf Islands within commuting reach of Vancouver, as well as spurring growth on Van- couver Island and the Sechelt Penin- sula, he said. The SeaBus terminal on the Van- couver waterfront is being used to only one fifth of its capacity and is easily able to take fast ferries, he said. Diesel-powered catamarans could put Nanaimo within 75 minutes of downtown Vancouver, he said. The time to Gibsons, south of Sechelt, would be 51 minutes and to Port Moody, 30 minutes. The ride to Swartz Bay, north of Victoria, would take 105 minutes. The Nanaimo-Vancouver and Vic- toria-Vancouver sailing times now are about 90 minutes, but both mainland terminals are about a 30- minute drive from downtown Van- couver. One concern, which ‘“‘may turn out to be the big concern,’ is seasickness, he said. “People who take a ferry want it to be as reliable and as comfortable as a bus. They don’t want to become sick during the few days of winter when there are rough seas.”” Bruce suggested that 300-passenger catamarans be used as routes crossing the Strait of Georgia, where two metre-high waves can be encoun- tered. Smaller craft, seating 150 passengers, would be suitable for the other, more sheltered runs.
