Residents and transportation advocates in Canarsie have rallied for improved local transit services, calling on Mayor Eric Adams to establish a ferry dock in their area to connect them directly to Manhattan. This initiative, led by Jibreel Jalloh of The Flossy Organization, addresses the longstanding transportation challenges faced by Canarsie residents. With over 6,000 signatures backing their request, city officials, including Council Member Mercedes Narcisse, are taking action to introduce legislation to ensure ferry service. Advocates highlight that a dock at Canarsie Pier could relieve congestion and address accessibility issues, especially for disabled residents.
For too long, our community has suffered from limited transportation options, resulting in congestion, longer commutes, and missed opportunities. We must bridge this gap and demand the connectivity we deserve.
We're talking about a transportation desert. This is a reality of our lives. We're talking congestion pricing, it's so expensive, people can't get to Manhattan. We're talking about environmental issues and climate change.
It's time to finally connect Canarsie to the city's growing ferry network.
This ferry not only serves transportation needs but is also crucial for residents with disabilities.
