infrastructure · August 2023 · Baynes Sound Connector ferry and Denman Island terminals

Residents expressed concerns about ongoing issues with the Baynes Sound Connector ferry, including mechanical problems, traffic congestion at terminals, and safety risks caused by tourist vehicles. Suggestions include limiting tourist RV length, reconsidering Hornby's assured first-come-first-served loading lane, and holding a public meeting on Denman to address these problems.

• “Denman continues to compete not only for road access, but limited ferry deck space due to an unsustainable number of tourist vehicles... I strongly urge BC Ferries set up a public meeting on Denman to address the above problems that continue to create an enormous strain on Denman and on BCF’s heroic ferry staff.” — The Islands Grapevine – August 31st, 2023 (August 31st, 2023)
