NYC Ferry has proposed new routes that will connect Brooklyn and Staten Island for the first time. The new service will run from the St. George terminal in Staten Island to the Bay Ridge terminal in Brooklyn. Additional routes are also being considered, such as a direct service from South Brooklyn to Midtown Manhattan. The proposal stems from years of rider feedback and aims to enhance transportation options for commuters. A survey of ferry-goers will be conducted throughout the summer before implementation is expected this winter.
"This map of proposed changes is based on years of rider feedback and operational analysis," said James Wong, executive director of NYC Ferry. "[It] will be a strong starting point as we continue to solicit input from our riders and prepare for this next chapter of NYC Ferry."
"For years, we've urged the city to better utilize our waterways to ease traffic and expand transportation options for Staten Islanders and Brooklynites," said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis. "Now, for the first time in decades, the city is one step closer to reconnecting Staten Island and Brooklyn by ferry."
