The maritime facility along the Columbia Street Waterfront already transports tens of thousands of shipping containers across the harbor to New Jersey each year via barge.
What [the Red Hook Container Terminal] is doing today probably gets 30,000 truck trips [annually] off the road at a minimum. That can grow substantially.
The change could bring less heavy commercial traffic and road violence to areas plagued by trucking, such as nearby Red Hook.
It's unclear when these blue highways will become a reality at the Brooklyn waterfront and EDC is still developing its final proposal for overhauling the massive 122-acre terminals.
