Steve Cohen's proposal to add NYC Ferry stops at LaGuardia Airport and Citi Field aims to reduce worsening traffic issues in the area. Supported by influential partners and amidst upcoming developments like a major tennis center renovation and a new stadium, the need for alternative transport grows. Although current ferry services connect all boroughs, they have yet to reach Flushing Bay. Critics highlight issues like low capacity and limited integration with existing transit systems, raising doubts about ferries as a comprehensive solution to the congestion problem.
"Cohen's request arrives with some heavy-hitting backup: the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, and NYCFC, all signed the letter."
"Though the ferry system—operated by Hornblower and overseen by the city's Economic Development Corporation—currently connects all five boroughs, it hasn't yet reached Flushing Bay."
