This unique property has been transformed by the current owners to a modern, fully-operational boat docking facility with repair, fabrication shops, storage, and vessel cleaning capabilities. Sugar Dock has an excellent, long-standing reputation for expertise in and servicing of sailboats, fishing boats, yachts, tugboats, and even U.S. Coast Guard vessels. With its deep-water berthing slips, 28 ft. water depth at low tide (approx.) located in the Santa Fe Channel in Pt. Richmond, CA, Sugar Dock covers over 2 acres of protected waterway. Sugar Dock is a thriving business that generates recurring revenue from its current client docking leases, vendors, tenants, and maintenance fees. Feagley Management Investment Inc.

  • Staff Report
    THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. : 10.3 SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY DIVISION: Finance and Information Technology BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Approving a revised inter-agency transfer discount fare between the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), which operates the Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry services, and provide for the transfer discount fare to Clipper® card customers only. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Resolution No. 3866, the MTC is mandated by Section 66516 of the California Government Code to promote the coordination of fares between transit agencies within its jurisdiction. The SFMTA is committed to updating and equalizing all existing inter-agency transfer agreements for customers transferring to the Municipal Railway from other Bay Area transit agencies, and introducing reciprocal transfer discounts for Muni customers transferring to other transit agencies. WETA and the SFMTA desire to increase the transfer of customers between systems, thereby improving the quality of transit service and encouraging transit use. In 2000, the SFMTA entered into a formal transfer agreement with the City of Alameda, the former operator of the ferry services, intended to facilitate the transfer of customers and encourage transit use which included a free two-part roundtrip ticket for transferring to Muni service ($4.00 value) for Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry customers. The SFMTA and WETA are proposing to modify the current transfer arrangement by reducing the amount of the transfer discount to $1.00 per round trip with each agency providing a $0.50 discount off their respective adult cash fare, and making this transfer discount available only to Clipper® card customers.

  • Item 7.B Att a CTP-Transit Element State of the System
    Chapter 3 To chart a successful course for Solano County’s intercity transit and rideshare system, two things are needed: to know where the system is at this time, and to know where STA, partner agencies, and Solano’s transit operators want to be by 2040. Before building the future transit system, it is best to understand the foundation that exists, its strengths and weaknesses, resources needed at its current level of service, and existing opportunities and challenges. This report summarizes the current condition and operation of Solano’s intercity transit and rideshare system as of the end of December 2014. Section 1: The Transit and Rideshare System Defined Overview The Transit and Rideshare System (also simply referred to as ‘The Transit System’) for this report incorporates the modes of intercity bus, passenger rail and passenger ferry service, ridesharing (carpools and vanpools), as well as intercity Paratransit services and Mobility Management. The Transit System consists of the vehicles and supporting infra- structure for those modes of travel. For ridesharing and mobility management, it also includes the staff that supports the programs enabling carpool and vanpool creation and operation, and the delivery of mobility management programs. Solano County has an established and diverse Transit and Rideshare System serving a countywide population of 424,0001. Over 175,000 Solano residents work outside their home. The Transit System serves all trip purposes and a significant portion of commute trips. Between 2009 and 2013, 18% 2of working Solano residents travelled to work by ridesharing, bus, train, or ferry. Transit services connect Solano to the adjacent Sacramento and Bay Area regions via limited-stop buses on highways (I-80, I-680, Highways 12 and 29).
