In May of 2008, the New York City Council and Mayor Bloomberg presented a three-phased plan to better utilize New York City's waterways.  The first phase of the plan introduced ferry service between Rockaway, Queens, the Brooklyn Army Terminal and Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan (Wall Street).  Phase 1 also included constructing a dock to complete the South Williamsburg landing to facilitate privately subsidized ferry service.

Now, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) have begun a six-month Comprehensive Citywide Ferry Study.  This study aims to further expand ferry service around New York City and identify areas in each borough that are suitable for new ferry landing sites. 

If you care about this issue, please attend a Manhattan Town Hall Forum and let your voice be heard!
