FERRY LANDING AT ISABELLA
» POINT IS GIVEN STUDY

Owing to various discussions from | require minor revisions: and widen-
time to'time regarding the proposal jing, but the: southerly 214 miles has
to build ‘a: ferry landing: at Isabella | excessive grades and ends at.a high

ing is.released from the Salt Spring
Island..Chamber..of. Commerce:

'.From’ “information received --the
_ ferry landing at Asabella Point was
inspected on April 16, 1945, and the
report .gives. an .idea..of. conditions
and the proposed location of a Ferry
Site. On. this date there was. an 0.4
‘tide during the day, conditions were
observed and such soundings and
measurements taken as could be ac-
complished in the time available
From the information procured at
the landing terrain and the sound-
ings on the foreshore. it appeared
evident that a landing dock of mod-
erate dimensions could be built to;
accommodate the ferry, and the road
approach was easy at the end of the
landing.
The question of this site providing
a suitable ferry. landing rested, to a
large extent, on the protection af-
forded the landing during ‘stormy
weather.. From this angle the reports
were not favorable. There is a long
areca of open sea to the. southeast,
from.which the. full force of south-
éast storms would reach this. har-
bour ‘and which some protection
would-be given by the island off
shore, and it was not. considered
feasible to locate the landing far
enough in to obtain full protection
from it.

nearer the coast.

Accurate cost could only. be deter-
mined. after’ the location survey but

for. the- road access would. not - be
less’ than $35,000. Assuming. a cost
of $30,000 for the construction of a
new landing. there would be a total

expenditure involved in the proposal
of $65,000.

tance from Swartz Bay to Fulford
Harbor by the ferry route is 63
miles and from Swartz Bay to Isa-
bella Point Harbor, 3.5 miles.
one-way trip between
and Fulford occupies
hour, of which the docking time
at both ends would take about 20
minutes, leaving the actual running
time 40 minutes.
; On this basis the saving in time
to the proposed landing at Isabella
Point (one half the distance) would
be 20 minutes per trip. According | ]
to calculations only 14 minutes: per
trip would be saved. To make a fair
comparison in time saving between
landing at Fulford Harbor or -Isa-
hella Point, consideration should he
given to the time taken in travers-
ing the distance between Isabella
Point and the Ganges-Fulford Road,
say six minutes for three miles. This
Breakwater Needed would leave a net saving in time of
