Recently introduced legislation aims to re-establish ferry service linking Staten Island to Brooklyn. Co-sponsored by Councilmembers Kamillah Hanks and Justin Brannan, the bill seeks to provide a vital transit option for commuters while integrating with the existing NYC Ferry network. The ferry service was discontinued shortly after the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964. Proponents argue this initiative could alleviate traffic issues and provide faster transport options for working families, aligning with ongoing efforts to improve NYC's public transit infrastructure.
This bill brings us one step closer to re-establishing that vital link - restoring a smarter, faster, and more resilient option for commuters and families who deserve better than traffic jams and endless bus transfers.
This turns the vision of a 'blue subway' into a reality. The harbor becomes a true transit corridor - not just for tourists or weekend riders, but for working New Yorkers who need real alternatives.
