Denman West Ferry Hill Safety Concerns Raised

infrastructure · Denman West ferry hill

Safety concerns were raised regarding the Denman West ferry hill due to lack of center lines, narrow shoulders, and overgrown blackberry bushes affecting ferry traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. MOTI and BC Ferries will discuss possible solutions, and the hill is confirmed stable by a geotechnical report.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
