A body of water that once marked the beginning of a journey across the globe, now transports people to all parts of San Francisco Bay. In 1935 Pan American World Airways launched a flying boat named the China Clipper from the shores of Alameda to points across Asia. Today, the Seaplane Lagoon is poised to be the crown jewel in the redevelopment of the Naval Air Station on Alameda. With the passage of Senate Bill 976 in 2007 the San Francisco Bay Water Transit Authority (WETA) was mandated to implement a robust water transportation system, capable of moving people to all parts of the Bay. Fast forward 13 years and to the design and construction of the Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal along the eastern shore of what will become a dynamic urban edge along the San Francisco Bay. With the initial stages of development underway and a new waterfront park complete the vision for what Alameda Point can become is being focused into sharp reality.
Our project celebrates this special multi-modal node with a dynamic mix of placemaking, functional design and environmental stewardship. Special to this project is a 10,000 square foot stormwater basin that celebrates the native flora and supports a rich habitat for monarchs and pollinator species. All the while sequestering and scrubbing stormwater that runs off the temporary parking lot.
Working hand in hand with Alameda’s Transportation department we devised and implemented several of NACTO’s best practices for bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
