1.1 What is a Terminal Development Plan (TDP)? Over the next 25 years the Terminal Network will be optimized for efficient and effective operation. BC Ferries will study routes and their interactions A Terminal Development Plan (TDP) is a concept plan that provides the to determine ways to reduce operating and capital costs and increase system framework for the phased implementation of strategies and actions over reliability. Terminals will be examined for improvement to construction and the next 25 years that will enable BC Ferries to develop terminals in a cost operating efficiencies. Greater use of standard designs and components will effective, organized, and efficient way. aid these efficiencies over time.

25 Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay 4TDP and Terminal Network Master Plan Functional Requirements 4.1 Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay TDP Functional Requirements This section outlines the proposed terminal functional requirements and how these conform to the 2018 TNMP requirements for a Northern terminal. All future terminal developments at Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay will conform to the Design Requirements outlined in the TNMP – Terminal Class Design Requirements. In addition to the TNMP requirements, the TDP identifies Site Specific Requirements for Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay. These requirements were identified through discussions with internal and external stakeholders and are due to the uniqueness of the terminal infrastructure and surrounding community needs. The functional design requirements have been established in order to ensure compliance with the Customer Experience, Fleet, and Terminal Network Master Plans. The following sections identify the functional requirements for Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay relating to the TNMP and FMP, and incorporate the site specific requirements as either (A) Essential (required by the TNMP) or (B) Desirable (identified through the TDP process).

26 4.1.1 Safety and Security Site Specific Requirements: Passengers are currently parking along the shoulder of Highway 16 near the site exit. This creates significant risk of vehicular and pedestrian conflict with highway traffic and traffic exiting the site. Barriers should be placed along the highway to discourage parking at this location.

Functional Requirements – Safety and Security

Criteria TNMP Requirement Existing TDP Essential Functional TDP Desirable Functional Requirement Requirement Integration of Safety Yes • Access to Route 11 and Route 26 Berths has been • Formalized safe walking and Security Features restricted with gates routes including raised • Access to the wooden pier between the Route crosswalks 11 and Route 26 berths has been blocked with a • Additional barriers placed locked gate on highway shoulder at east • Security cameras edge of site to discourage parking on the highway directly adjacent to site

4.1.2 Berths Site Specific Requirements: The Route 11 vessel(s) are not scheduled for retirement until 2043 and 2049. As such, the existing Route 11 berth is compatible with the current vessels. The Route 26 berth is to be compatible with the existing Kwuna vessel and a future landing craft vessel as per the Fleet Master Plan. This is essential to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operations of the terminal. The current Fleet Master Plan identifies the Kwuna to be replaced with another Unique Landing Craft Vessel in 2027. There is an opportunity for the TNMP/FMP to allow for a Minor/Intermediate berth interface in the future.

Functional Requirements – Berths

Criteria TNMP Requirement Existing TDP Essential Functional TDP Desirable Functional Requirement Requirement Number of Berths 1 Berth 2 Berths – 1 Northern Type and 1 Concrete Ramp 2 Berth – Utilize existing Remove concrete ramp and concrete ramp berth install standardized MIM berth to meet the needs of a standard (non-unique) vessel Berth Interface Northern 2 Berths – 1 Northern Type and 1 Concrete Ramp To be compatible with the Standardized berth in the existing landing craft vessel as future for Route 26 vessel well as the future landing craft replacement vessel for Route 26

27 Figure 26: Existing Route 26 Berth

Figure 27: Existing Route 11 Berth

28 4.1.3 Ticketing & Pre-Ticket Area Site Specific Requirements: Vehicle traffic has been observed to exceed the current pre-ticket AEQ capacity, creating conflicts with highway traffic. Currently, if the pre-ticket queue exceeds capacity, terminal staff will "wave through" passengers into holding lane, at which time they exit their vehicle and complete their check-in at the terminal building. Increasing the AEQ capacity of the pre-ticket area will increase safety and vehicle loading efficiency. Furthermore, adding a second ticket booth will increase the speed at which passenger ticketing is processed, thereby reducing pre-ticket queuing and increasing operational efficiency.

Functional Requirements – Ticketing and Pre-Ticket Area

Criteria TNMP Requirement Existing TDP Essential Functional TDP Desirable Requirement Functional Requirement Ticketing Function Yes 1 vehicle ticket booth, and a As per existing ticketing counter inside the terminal building Self-Ticket Kiosks No No No Turnstiles at No No No Embarkation and Fee Paid Entry Zone

4.1.4 Vehicle Holding Areas Site Specific Requirements: Route 11 travel is by reservation only, vehicle traffic exceeds capacity at times, and there are often waitlists of up to 15 vehicles. Currently, incoming vehicles are sorted based on size, type, and accessibility requirements (some passengers require direct access to the on-board elevators). Ensuring there is enough space in the loading area to allow for flexibility in the sorting of incoming vehicular traffic will increase operational efficiency. Route 26 traffic frequently exceeds capacity during peak times, such as during the Copper River Salmon Run, or prior to flights departing from Sandspit Airport.

5.1.2 Illustrative Concept Plans Terminal Building Concept This schematic design serves as a conceptual basis for further design development BC Ferries during future phases of the project. 2018.06.13 Effort is made to ensure that the building incorporates clear expressions of Haida culture. The low-sloped gable form of the building is reminiscent of the traditional “2 gable beam” Haida longhouse, and it follows the same conceptual strategy of wrapping a monumental heavy timber structure in layers or “planes” of cladding. Wooden slats found on local smokehouses are used to create privacy by screening the bathroom entrances. The form of the building has been augmented to include wide overhangs for protection from frequent heavy rains common on Haida Gwaii. The two-dimensional artwork often found on traditional Haida housefronts is reinterpreted in the fritted glass design that encloses the building’s waiting room. As the project moves forward a local Haida artist from the community will be commissioned to create this artwork. The terminal building’s design incorporates passenger amenities such as an enlarged waiting room, washrooms, ticket counter, self-serve ticket kiosks, comfortable Elder seating, and large windows to maximize daylight and view. The design also incorporates staff amenities such as an enlarged office flex space, private office, meeting room, crew mess, locker room, and vehicle hosteling station complete with separate entrance. Space is provided for necessary mechanical, electrical, and IT equipment as well.

Additional lighting will likely be required to improve safety and accessibility of the expanded terminal area in low light situations. There are a number of incentive programs, both within BC Ferries and externally, to manage energy consumption more effectively and use the energy more efficiently. Such incentives currently include: • Terminal lighting upgrade incentives from BC Hydro • Assessing the feasibility of including the terminal into BC Ferries’ Solar Panel Pilot Project • Energy efficiency benchmarking – BC Ferries is registered for an Energy Start Portfolio Manager account. Portfolio Manager is a free online tool developed by the US EPA and supported by Natural Resources Canada to benchmark commercial building energy performance. If feasible, the lighting infrastructure should be metered and recorded to the benchmarking site

49 6Implementation 6.1 Investment and Implementation In line with the vision outlined within this document, the Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay TDP sets out a comprehensive program of proposals and improvements that will transform the terminal over the next 25 years from 2018 to 2043. As a result, the TDP provides the long-term plan to allow BC Ferries to provide safe, cost effective ferry services and replace and upgrade capital assets in a financially responsible manner. 6.2 Recommendations for Further Studies Approval of this Plan is the first step in moving towards the objectives set out in this TDP. How these are implemented will be critical to the successful realisation of the TDP. A number of initiatives, studies, investments, and other actions will be required to develop Skidegate Landing GuuhlGa Llnagaay terminal. The following table outlines recommended studies to be conducted in order to confirm the detailed design requirements of the phased work identified in this TDP. The information from these studies will be beneficial in establishing more detailed scopes, schedules, and budgets.
