Ferry good news as plans for new waterborne service progress
Citywide ferry service is one step closer to setting sail.
Representatives from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) – the agency behind the five new ferry routes – stopped by Community Board 10 on Wednesday, March 9 to discuss, in detail, the new ferry landing design coming next year to Bay Ridge.
The $55-million five-borough ferry service – first announced last February – will take place in two phases. According to NYCEDC, the South Brooklyn, Astoria and Rockaway routes will begin operation in 2017 with the Soundview and Lower East Side routes to follow in 2018.
