Don’t dock in Coney Creek, residents warn ferry officials
Coney Islanders at a ferry planning meeting this week told officials they’re happy about the service, they’re just not thrilled about where it might be docking.
New York City Economic Development Corporation representatives met with Coney Island residents, community board members and other stakeholders at the New York Aquarium on Tuesday to collect public comment on the neighborhood’s forthcoming ferry service, slated to set sail sometime in 2021.
While feedback on the ferry itself was mostly friendly, attendees wondered whether or not the city agency, which operates the waterborne transit service alongside vessel operator Hornblower, had really thought through the two proposed landings they’re pitching.
