As BC Ferries switches to the “shoulder season” schedules for the Sunshine Coast and Nanaimo routes, Powell River Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons is hoping there won’t be a repeat of some things he saw over the summer.
Simons says he’s worried about an impact on tourist traffic because of the discount Ferries was offering on over-size vehicle — only on routes to the Island.
Simons also met with officials from BC Ferries last week over the mid-day gap left by sailing cuts on the Earls Cove – Saltery Bay route. It led to huge back-ups at Earls Cove, because traffic moving up the Sunshine Coast from Langdale didn’t link up with a ferry.
