letter<\/a>\u00a0to the Department of Transportation in support of this grant. \u201cThe ferry is the only public transportation to and from the island for residents and commuters and this terminal is in dire need of repair and upgrades. I thank the President and Secretary Buttigieg for recognizing the importance of this project and providing this critical funding for our region.\u201d<\/p>\nThe Cabrillo Mole Intermodal Ferry Terminal project is designed to expand the existing ferry terminal in Avalon and improve resilience to climate change by adding project components to address sea level rise. The Cabrillo Mole Intermodal Center handles over one million passengers annually traveling to Avalon from San Pedro, Long Beach, Newport Beach and Dana Point.<\/p>\n
\u201cImproving our ferry terminal is so important as it is our visitor\u2019s first impression of Avalon and our residents deserve a facility of which they can be proud,\u201d said Avalon Mayor Anni Marshall. \u201cOn behalf of the City, I thank all Agencies involved in providing this substantial grant.\u201d<\/p>\n
The existing facility was constructed in 1968 and can no longer accommodate the number of ferry passengers it receives. The new terminal expansion and construction adjustments are to prepare for the next 25 years of predicted sea level rise and will provide accessible passenger facilities, improve safety and security, improve pedestrian circulation, and enhance the overall user experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
