Greenpoint ferry is now reopen for passengers
The ferry stop at India Street will restore service after months of delays
GREENPOINT — The ferry stop at India Street in Greenpoint will reopen and be fully operational Monday, serving customers and restoring the neighborhood with its own “sea legs,” AMNY reported Friday, Nov. 11. The dock originally closed down in May of 2021 after there were issues with the supporting pillars on the dock.
Council member Lincoln Restler Tweeted Thursday afternoon that the ferry would be in working order and thanked the NYC Small Business Services, the city Economic Development Corporation and real estate developer Lendlease. The Economic Development Corporation confirmed Restler’s statement – the pier at India Street, which is owned by Lendlease, is the only privately held pier among the city’s ferry stops.
“FERRY UPDATE: Service will be restored to Greenpoint ferry stop on Monday morning,” wrote Restler in a Tweet on Friday. “After too many months of delays, we’re thrilled the ferry will be back in Greenpoint.”
Lendlease issued a statement on Oct. 16 explaining that the reopening was planned for early November, and that final testing and preparation was being carried out in the second half of October. The East River Ferry service, of which India Street is a component, runs from Hunters Point South to DUMBO along the western waterfronts of Brooklyn and Queens.
