New york city looks to expand ferry services

摘要

Despite the devastating impact of Super Storm Sandy on New York City's shoreline communities in 2012, development of residential properties along the waterfront of the city's five boroughs is booming. To serve the transportation needs of these fast-growing waterfront neighborhoods, New York City is examining the possibility of creating new ferry services. Two studies recently released by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) layout the case for expanded ferry services. The first, a Preliminary Report from the updated NYCEDC Citywide Ferry Study examines the viability of ferry service to nearly 60 waterfront sites across the city.
