Bruce, Era and Sky Williams wait to board the Willamette Ferry
in the east bank o f the Willamette River near OMSI. The ferry is
\ffering free commuter rides for the next three weekends.
Looking for a new way to move
around downtown? Take the river.
The Willamette Ferry, which car
ries passengers between Riverplace
Marina, OMSI and the East Espla
nade, is free to commuters for the next
three weekends, through Aug. 10.
“This m aiden voyage o f the
Willamette Ferry is the first step to
achieve a long-held dream o f a river
transit system in Portland,” said
Mayor Vera Katz.
Signs featuring the ferry route
and schedule are at the entrances to
the dock on the north end o f the
Eastbank Esplanade' s floating walk
way, at southeast Madison, near the
Hawthorne Bridge.
The ferry is an “environmentally
sensitive” way to travel, according
to Peter Wilcox o f RiversWest.
“This boat is very low-impact— it
has a minimum negative effect on air
and water. It is a very efficient de
sign and produces a low wake as it
moves through the water,” WitcoX
said.
